Break in period limiting RPMs

ST model.
By falling over, I should have said falling on its face... AKA, experiencing a sudden loss of acceleration and then taking a long moment to shift. This is all at 6500 RPMs, which I find odd for even a stock motor to have a redline/rev limiter sub 7500.

I think we can all understand that. A tune should fix the funky shifting of the transmission and make the shifts pretty nice. We’re all just saying what’s happening to it now. Unfortunately just no time yet for the 2025 so Sport mode would be your only choice to try to get a better driving experience.
**** that…it’s not a Ferrari. I found the speed limiter within 10 miles of the dealership with less than 20 miles on the car. Drove the shit out of it every day and at 107K it’s never been back to the dealer for anything….ever.
Get it hot and vary your speed…but just drive the damn thing. Nobody needs to change their oil at 1K either…just another old wives tale that needs to die.

Yeah and if every single owner ragged on their car like that they would have an even lower reliability rating than they already do. It being an old wives tale is bs when most mechanics or even ford master techs would agree that it’s best to change it early if you want the cars to last. If this was a fresh engine build you would changing the oil 3 times by 1k miles.
I’ve built probably 50-60 engines from stock replacement to 4 figure HP…never once recommended a break in period or 1000 mile oil change…come to think of it…only had a few come back for unrelated issues. So yea…you’re wrong. lol
Drive it like you’re gonna drive it…change the oil when you should with quality product. It’ll be just fine.
