Lugging is not just a function of rpms. It's also a function of load. You can drive the car all day long at 1200 to 2000 rpms in any gear as long as you're easy on the throttle. It won't be very satisfying, but it won't hurt anything either.1600 rpm??? My guess is that Ford is accepting driving that's closer to lugging than I ever would for me. Then again, when driving my wife's Subie in slow-moving traffic that refuses to maintain any semblance of constant speed I've been known to make upward of 50 shifts per mile.
