2015 Ford F-250 SD problems and owner complaints

FORD OFFERS A 20 INCH TIRE & WHEEL UPGRADE ON 4X4 LARIAT TRIM (AND OTHERS) BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SPARE TIRE IN THE UPGRADE. SPARE TIRE REMAINS AN 18 INCH WITH THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER ABOUT 1 INCH SMALLER THAN THE ROAD TIRES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ADEQUATE 4X4 PERFORMANCE, LOADED HANDLING, RIDE AND STEERING SECURITY.

I HAVE A 2015 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY WITH A 6.7L DIESEL. I STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY AND ONLY NOTICED IT ON HOT DAYS WHILE AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT HAPPENED WITH EVERY RE-GEN, AT ANY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND ALMOST ANY SPEED. IT ALL STARTS WITH THE NOTIFICATION ON THE SCREEN OF CLEARING THE EXHAUST FILTER AND HAS AN OK IN THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN.
