10-speed
Thought this was interesting. While testing the 2017 F150, Kent Sundling wanted a hint from the engineer regarding 10-speeds on upcoming Super Duties. I take it as an unofficial yes.

It will add a sarcasm detector, though.

So is this a 20 speed? 1-5 (plus reverse) in each of 4 gears? Or 1-4 in each of 5 gears (plus reverse)?

Just bought my wife a car and it has a 8 sp trans, also has a V8 and 420+ HP and massive torque. we traded in her earlier model with a 6 sp. The 6 spd struggled to see 14 mpg, this 8 sp gives 20 mpg with ease and straight hiway about 23...
More gears seems to give better mpg overall

I much prefer a 13 speed or 18 speed to the twin sticks. CB Mic used to get tangled in the sticks. Any way you look at it there is a lot of wasted time dropping RPMS going up or building RPMS in neutral coming back down. The high torque rise engines don't need as many gears but the limited rpm operating range is requires more splits to make maximum speed.
For these trucks the 10 speed might be fun but I am not convinced it will make huge strides in performance or efficiency unless something radical happens to the PSD regarding torque/horsepower band.
