Man buys $92k Ford F-250 and is told it’s not designed to drive over 65mph
So this guy uploaded this video with the conversation he had with the dealership and was told that the shaking is normal as the truck isn’t made to be driven over 65mph.
I guess only race cars go over 65

Who pays $92k for a truck? If they said it wasn't designed to go over 95 and that is where the issues cropped up I could see it perhaps.
Glad I have an F150!

Yeah not sure what the actual price tag was but that was what was stated on FB. Maybe that’s the sticker?

Do a search for the Ford Death Wobble. It's been a common problem for years, and this is just another case of the Ford dealer network not fixing a problem and trying to pass it off as normal.

Sound more like a R&D problem than a dealer problem.

When could you believe anything the dealer said?
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Not everyone test drives a brand new vehicle.
I'd death wobble that F250 right through the front window of that dealership. Holy Toledo would I be pissed off.

Here in Michigan, we have what is known as the "lemon law". Four unsuccessful attempts to repair a defect within a set time period and the manufacturer buys the vehicle back. Hopefully, this guy is in Michigan.

I believe lemon laws are pretty universal throughout all 50 states

Are they saying every F250 on the lot does this?
Man, I'd be calling the local news, CNN, Foxnews, anyone who'd like to make some stink over this.
He should also ask the servicemanager where in the user manual it says not to drive the vehicle over 65mph without a load.

I’ve been riding with my buddy in his 2012 F250 King Ranch and had the death wobble happen. Scary as hell at 60 mph in that thing in traffic.

I'd never listen to a dealer. The guy needs to call FoMoCo directly, dealers aren't called stealerships for no reason....

Preach. If I pay $90K+ for a truck, I'm going to expect 65mph+, land, sea, and air.

Dealer is full of it. Truck is unsafe to drive. Owner needs to contact Ford regional manager ASAP.

I like Ford trucks fine, but I also had a bad experience with a dealer who told me my truck was overheating because it was hot outside. No lie.

I have a an extremely low tolerance for dealer bullshit. They get two shots at me. First time I call them on it, they get one more shot to get it right and then I'm on the phone to the regional rep.
Only had to get ugly with 'em once so far.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.
