As far as the Super Duty 10 speed, it will likely take some tricks from the light duty version, but will be vastly different due to needing to support 500 HP and 1000 ft-lbs of torque (plus more in the years to come).

While I like the idea of more gears and keeping the engine closer to it's peak power band I'm skeptical of all this gear changing with the torque management (or whatever it's called when the engine defuels during a shift). Perhaps they've refined it but it's very noticeable on my 2011 and very annoying when I'm aggressively accelerating unloaded.

I like to roll into the throttle in 1st gear and then go WOT while shifting 2-5 making sure the rpms stay between 1600 and 2200 but don’t go WOT until you feel the torque converter lock up. This gives me the best drag race using M mode. In D the shifts happen way too late and the torque converter doesn’t lock up until you’re leveling off at your cruising speed.
