Put about 75 miles so far in mostly around town driving, and unfortunately a few bouts of gridlock traffic by bad luck.

I noticed occasionally when slowly picking up speed from 5-20 mpg the tranny is hunting gears. Feels like it’s slipping or kicking back very slightly trying to pick the right gear.

Sometimes it feels a bit concerning but im pretty sure I’ve read the 2.7 auto has a learning period. So I hope this is normal? I’ve never really witnessed this in any of our newly purchased cars in the past but it sounds like this is unique to this tranny

Heard they take a few hundred miles to start figuring out your driving style... or maybe that's how long it takes the driver to adjust. Never noticed it in my dad's F-150, but him and I have similar driving styles.

I have the 10 speed in my f150. Just drive it your normal way at let it learn. Turn off the gear indicator and don’t over think it. computer is smarter than I am, great transmission.

At 1700 miles I think it’s one of the best autos I’ve ever owned

The powertrain is an adaptive system and never really stops learning. It will behave based on your driving habits. Not that you want to be a NASCAR driver with it but definitely give the vehicle the full range of motions: part throttle, half throttle and full throttle.
Yeah. At a speed limited 104 +/- mph we be falling infield from the banking at Daytona. Might as well take off the doors before they get blown off, lol

800 mile learning period, IIRC.
