| Description of the problem | I purchased this 2016 ford f150 to tow my trailer. It is equipped with the ford max tow package. This truck will not safely tow my trailer. The problem is with the hankook tires. The tires cause the truck to "hunt" and swerve while driving on straight road. The tires are seeking the grooves in the road and make the truck difficult to drive. When the trailer is connected to the truck, the problem becomes so severe that the truck cannot be safely operated. When driving the truck in no wind, the truck swerves as if the wind is gusting from the side. I have driven this truck with the service director and the shop foreman and they both agree that the truck has an issue with the tires., ford refuses to assist in this matter. |
