New 10 Speed...
#31
Turbo gas engines are rapidly becoming the norm, rather than the exception. Sooner or later I'm sure a turbo engine will show up in their engine lineup, but they would be smart to hold onto their 2V V8s for years to come.

Lots of folks aren't, but time are changing. It's great for those of us who like turbos, though...they're in just about everything nowadays.

I think Ford will be able to "tune" the transmission for performance, economy, towing, etc...
Just read an article about Chevrolet's 2017 Camaro ZL1, the 10 speed is an option on that vehicle, a 6 speed manual is standard. The 10 speed equipped car does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and quarter mile @ 11.4 / 127 MPH where as the 6 Speed manual is 3.7 seconds and 11.8 / 125 MPH. Not a Chevy commercial here, just pointing out that technology has came a looonng way and the 10 speed can be adapted to different applications with great results.
When I get the itch for a new truck, the 10 speed will definitely be on my radar.
