[QUOTE="BrantW, post: 1420347, member: 37893"] Hi everyone, I have been lurking on here for a few months, and am about to pull the trigger on a 2020 SCREW with the 802A package and every other feature I want with a decent price (MSRP here in California is good). I have taken it for a test drive twice, and each time I have noticed a bucking/clunk noise occur once while under hard acceleration and throttle. I have only experienced this twice, and couldn't get it to happen at other times when I was trying, so it seems to be pretty infrequent. The truck only has 20 miles on it now, and half of that was probably me test driving it. The best way to describe the noise/feeling is if someone slightly rear ended you from the back, but it happens right after a shift. I'm not sure exactly which gears, but I would maybe guess somewhere between 3-5? It startled me at first, and the salesman said it "was because of all the power". Again, this only occurred when I really stepped on it from a rolling start, and I couldn't duplicate it again when I tried, but randomly occurred the next day when I test drove it again. I have researched this topic to death, and have seen a lot of complaints regarding the transmission clunking and making these types of noises along with other harsh shifting, but usually only on older models? Everything else runs smoothly, and it was warmed up pretty well both times it occurred. I should also note that this was in Normal mode. I didn't test it in Sport, so I'm not sure it occurs there. It also had 87 in it I believe... So do the experts here believe this to be a normal case of the 10 speed transmission just not broken in yet? Is this a case of the truck's "smart learning" and will eventually go away on its own? I have also read about people needing to replace something to do with the valve body , or even something to do with the torque converter? I know there should be no updates or recalls, because they said it was just dropped off and had been literally sitting on the lot for less than a week, so it's brand brand new from the factory. I start to feel like I'm being super paranoid with this, but it's worrisome to experience on a 2020 with only 10 miles. Should I move on and look for another Raptor? What would you do? Thanks for your responses! [/QUOTE]
