What owners wrote
I purchased this 2016 ford f150 to tow my trailer. It is equipped with the ford max tow package. This truck will not safely tow my trailer. The problem is with the hankook tires. The tires cause the truck to "hunt" and swerve while driving on straight road. The tires are seeking the grooves in the road and make the truck difficult to drive. When the trailer is connected to the truck, the problem becomes so severe that the truck cannot be safely operated.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while attempting to rotate the tires, the service mechanic discovered that the lug nuts had swollen, and the wheel could not be immediately removed from the vehicle. The contact was advised that the lug nuts on all four wheels were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 68,000.
