- 2007 XLT 4.0.
I have a 07 XLT 4.0L V6 with the 55R5S transmission (117k miles).it does have the HD tow package. the VIN states its build date was 8/12/06. Apparently that matters as you may have a good or bad transmission depending on the build date.
I have been reading all the threads on here saying that this truck basically a ticking time bomb.I have had no issues so far with the truck, I am however noticing that it occasionally shifts hard into reverse.
I have until now been super gentle with it, and have avoided loading it out and towing with it, but it seems stupid to have a vehicle that I cant use. I wouldn't be doing anything super heavy with it (I have a 1500 Sierra for that). but is it safe to use within its stated specifications?
