So far my 2018 STX 2.7L has held up very well. I plan to keep this truck for as long as I can make it last. While I have heard of folks having transmission issues with the 10 speed I have been blessed so far. If my memory is correct, my milage is in the low 90K's.
That's awesome! I've got a buddy with a 2020 with 200k miles. I think there are batches of trucks that skipped this craziness. I hope you get a million miles without issues! Good to hear from you and thanks for watching!
2019 Expedition with 80k just started acting up a few weeks ago. Took it on a 200 mile trip over the weekend. Noticed strange shifting into 10 and some hunting. On the way back threw the power train light and locked out of 10, had some clunking down shifting as well as almost stalled in the middle of an intersection. Threw the drivetrain light again. Going to the dealer after Christmas. Fortunately I have he 125k warranty. Only other problems have been cam phasors replaced under warranty and rear hatch latch. Replaced that on my own because the dealer couldn't replicate. Going to a new dealer for the transmission, the last one finally pissed me off enough.

my work we got a 2022 F-350 with the 10 speed with 60,000 miles with zero issues practically a trailer on it it's whole life about 16000 pounds probably around my only complaint is the exhaust break on the 10-speed is absolutely horrible I almost could never get the exhaust brake to work properly on its own without using the manual shifter best way to describe it it's very weak and very faint compared to the 6-speed it's a night and day difference between the two besides that it tows amazing
Interesting note on the exhaust breaking. There is no telling what change ford made to the engine to comply with the ridiculous diesel rules. That may possibly be a factor. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
I'm so glad i held on to my 2001 lariat 5.4 f50. It has 331000 and has never left me stranded. I had a accident and it was totalled out i bought it back and fixed the slight damage. It still runs great. I was thinking of buying a new one glad i didn't.
I would definitely hold off a little bit… I believe they will eventually work the bugs out if the trans issues. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
The “swooshing” sound you speak of on your F150, are you sure it’s the transmission? I see you have the 2.7 Ecoboost and you might just be hearing the sound of the turbos moving air as the boost increases since you mention it happening while pulling a grade. If this is the case the sound you hear is completely normal.
Its not my turbos. I'm on my third ecoboost truck and none of them made this sound. I'm going to try to capture the sound. I've had a 2.7, 3.5, and my current truck is a 23 -3.5. Thanks for the response.
My 2020 Ranger is getting its transmission replaced this week. Luckily I had the extended warranty as I have 90k miles on it . Will see how it works when I get it back next week.
I had to pay 7300$ to put in a new transmission on my 2019 F150 because it was already out of warranty.... honestly, love the look of new f150, hate the transmission so i will NOT buy 2017+ 10-speed
@@theoverdriveconsumerchanne4424 2020. The bushing supposedly was the main issue. They put in $5 k in parts. When cold, and I mean zero and below the first shift would lock up the rear tires, as in 2 gears at the same time
The CDF drum issue is way more widespread than people know. It’s very disappointing Ford didn’t fix until 2023+, and isn’t supporting the older trucks which are failing constantly. These are fantastic units once that one issue is fixed and the bushing doesn’t walk.
My immediate thought about this maybe you should try an used 2nd gen Sequoia. The whole vehicle, exterior and interior look quite outdated. Good thing is they are usually very reliable, and a lot of aftermarket parts for you to make it your own. I've been driving a 2007 tundra, first year of the 2nd gen. I just needed to get over that ugly interior, it has been serving me very well, except mpg ~12-13 "with 6'inch lift and TOYO MT tires. For me, I just need a reliable vehicle to get to work, do my things with a peace of mind and not likely to leave me stranded on the road. ( i drive cross country trip sometimes, it would be a nightmare if it died in the middle of nowhere) So you might think about it too
If i had enough money and was dumb enough to buy a new truck from any manufacturer, id immediately switch to Amsoil trans fluid as a preventative measure
Good quality oil never hurts but I think this issue is deeper than fluids. There is a mechanical design issue with the trans. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@jeanclaude7018 I would love to back to the manual transmissions. Our vehicles would be a lot safer this days since no one knows how to drive them 😂. First vehicle was a manual…. Boy I miss it.
@jeanclaude7018 I wonder if they would have offered more tech if they could have rung in more support. It seems like the couple of titan/armadas I saw seemed a little dated tech-wise…. Its really sad they are dropping the titan though. I guess I could have bought another Nissan truck…
@jeanclaude7018 thank you! I like the KISS approach myself... Keep it simple stupid 😂. Does seem like the more complicated you make it more likely it is to fail! Thanks for taking the time to and for watching!
An ordinary pickup truck doesn't need a 10 speed transmission. 3 speeds did fine for decades, then the 4 speed "overdrive". Automakers are completely out to lunch. And just to clear things up, GMC-Chevy and Ford transmissions are made by the same company.
Correct the big two sucking it up right now in the transmission world… GM was struggling with the 6-speed also, surprisingly ford didn't have a ton of speed issues.
To be honest, no matter what you buy these days nothing is truly American. Then when you want to go outside the “American” brands - Toyotas, Nissan etc are manufactured in the US. What is really the best option today?
Because Toyota quality has really been slipping recently, especially when they dropped the 4L V6 & 5.7L V8's for those crappy turbo 6ers with/without the hybrid trash!
@@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032the gov is also trying to destroy the best things… it started with gas cans, then choking diesel engines with corrosive liquids, now no more v8s.
