It was a phenomenon I noticed too going from pre-2015 F150 models to the F-150 2017 when I bought it new, and is something that was mentioned by many F150 owners I have dealt with once the 2015 model came out and after. I am attributing it to the massive weight difference in the aluminum body trucks versus steel. Lighter is not always better I think...
