Took delivery of a new 150 short roof 3.7 on Wednesday and returned it Friday ! There is a real problem with the way the rear end floats around while driving in traffic or changing lanes. To me its like the rear tires have "low air presure" or the tires have way to soft of sidewall. Scary when the wind blows you around from semi trucks and all you do is chase the steering wheel trying to keep it in your lane. What the heck is Ford thinking here ?

yeah I checked them right away 85lbs each. As soon as you make a correction the back end moves around 1 sec later. Very strange feeling. I have the same wheel base GM van with the same 8600gvw and it handles like a sports car compared to this thing. I even have a 68' Chevy 90 cargo van and it drives way better so the wheel base i feel has nothing to do with it. Weight is only going to make it worse so I never even set it up.

Is that what the door sticker says? Sound high to me.

I don't think mine handles bad at all.

But what is the recommended pressure that the door sticker says? Unless you are running max load you don't need max pressure.
