4A mode: Pulls way to hard to the right

[7six2]

4A mode: Steering wheel pulls hard to the right only under acceleration. Its not just a little tug like torque steer in a front-wheel-drive car…no it’s a hard pull to the right that has me fighting the wheel and swerving. Been like that since I bought the truck new. 2019 model year built in Nov 2018.

I tried researching it early on, and folks say its just characteristic of combining the Torsen with 4A; so I just accepted that 4A is useless in my truck and moved on. But now I’d like to revisit this and see if possibly anyone knows or is there a better understanding of our trucks now. SURELY its not supposed to work this badly. Warranty is long out of the picture but still If something needs to be fixed I’d like to know, so I can make it right before I pass it onto my son.

That is definitely not normal. My 2019 drives beautifully in 4A.

what about 4h?

Agree, not normal behavior. I ride around in 4a a lot and there is some different characteristic to accelerating, especially if you’re taking off and immediately turning but it’s predictable once you’re used to it.

You can still get sideways in 4a in normal / sport mode but if the fronts have good traction they’ll pull you through the drama.

Mine pulls one way or another in 4A as well (I have torsion) but putting the steering mode in 'soft' seems to help a lot.

Same here. It’s very noticeable but you get used to it.

I must not be driving mine hard enough in 4A. I typically only use it in slippery conditions, so I’m not romping on it anyway.

At worst my 2019 pulls no harder than a front wheel drive with Torsen. I use it multiple times daily even in the dry. Wonder if your passenger side axle is not being engaged. Believe FordTechOne posted up somewhere here how to check for proper engagement.

Not normal at all--My 19 you cannot even tell you are in 4A!

I have the torsen and in 4A it fights to stay centered but doesn’t really pull one way or the other.

Something is wrong with your truck. Mine pulls just enough that I notice. And I notice lots of little stuff.
