Angry 2011 Ford F150 Quad Cab with 5.0 litre.

Hello, I am new to the site but my problem with the F150 is not...I have had it at the dealer 5 times since I purchased it in June, 2011. My problem is when I take off from a stop, my truck seems to shutter and in some cases even clunk a little like its either the tranny or even like a u-joint. The dealer has replaced the angle of the drive shaft in one case and even changed leaf springs among other things free of charge but to no avail. I have seen some other similar posts on this site and just wondering if it may be this 6 speed transmission and maybe nothing to worry about. It really bothers me though as I have had many Ford trucks in the past and all shifted very smooth. (take note that this happens even more noticable while towing my trailer or even hauling a heavy load in the box. My model of truck is the 2011 XLT with the 5.0 litre with the 6.5ft. box. Thanks for reading.

Greg.
