- 2011 Explorer
Howdy all,
I have a 2011 Explorer V6 with towing package.
Just picked up our new pontoon boat, and something doesn't seem quite right. The towing capacity on the Ex is 5,000 lbs. The boat/trailer weighs around 3,000 so no issues there.
Where the problem lies is when driving on highway around 60 mph, when letting off the gas, it will not upshift from 5th to 6th or perhaps 4th to 5th. Seems to downshift fine when I am going up hills, but runs at about 4000 RPM and will not shift up. Anyone have any thoughts on this before I take it to ford so at least I know what to tell them?
I've got 55,000 miles on it, so would be covered under powertrain I would hope, but just looking to know if anyone else has experienced this...
