OK, so I'm hearing;
- 10R100 behind the 7.3 is a 2025 thing.
- (All?) F350's get the 10R140 behind the 7.3 where the F250's get the 10R100 unless it's a Tremor (regardless of gear ratio)
I'm aware that there are differences between the 10R140 used with the 7.3 and the one used behind the 6.7.....that said, the gas 10R140 is undoubtedly stronger than the 10R100 so that's what I want (already have a 2023 with that combo). In my case, and assuming the above info is true, my course of action is clear: Just order an F350.
I just got back from the dealership and I looked at an F350 XL with the STX package; the window sticker says 7.3L and 10-Speed Automatic 10R140 (No Charge) in two places and the truck has the standard 3.73 gears so it appears that the F350's do get the 10R140 as standard equipment behind the 7.3.
Thanks to all who have chimed in.

The Tremor is built for offloading with softer springs etc. It won't support the tongue weight of the larger trailers that can be pulled by the non Tremor variety.
what is the GVW of a F350 Tremor? I'm sure way less than a Fx4 F350. The GVW and axle ratings on the door sticker have a lot to do with spring rates. The Tremor is just a lighter sprung truck for offroad use.

If they put the 10R100 behind all the gas motors and I will be more inclined to believe Ford has the same confidence in the 10R100 as you do.
Here is a failure of a 10R100 with several others chiming in of theirs failing.

You all seem to be willing give Ford the benefit of the doubt, and that's fine, your choice. Me? I think Ford is continuing to cut corners and is willing to let owners sit idle with their trucks in shop for months(like those 10R100 owners in the thread I linked) if things don't work out. No skin off of Ford's back once you pay them and drive off the lot.

We were on a family trip pulling a small travel trailer less than 5000 pounds. Stopped a light 2 miles from our camp site, light turns green and i start to slowly accelerate, the truck shutters/vibrates then SLAMS into gear !!!! When we get to our campsite I notced Transmission fuild leaking. My 23' F250 now sits 200 miles away at a Ford Repair shop.
Bought my 2024 about a month and a half ago. On my second drive (first drive since bringing it home from dealership) I was going 75mph on the interstate and it suddenly slammed from 10th to 3rd gear, and would go no faster than 25 mph. Went from 75mph to 25mph like I pulled the parachute. Lost reverse also. This happened at 165 miles. ONE HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE. Hadn’t even put a hitch yet on it yet, lol. Ford put a new transmission and it has been fine so far. Sad to hear I’m not the only one.

You got me,
the soccer dads are Tremor drivers with their low payloads...lol neither is my truck. That was just showing the Tremor has a much lower payload with lighter springs to provide better articulation off road.

It does show Ford has less faith in their 10R100 than you do if it can't handle some articulation offroad with 35s.

So whats the conclusion? OP of that thread never reported back the cause of failure and two other people jumped in with a story that yes included shifting issues as well and never reported anything back.

I got my truck back after 40 days of being at the dealership. they replaced the whole transmission. they shimmed the rear diff. and shimmed the center carrier barring. the truck is still doing the same thing. the truck is not fixed, they said a ford engineer came out to look at it and said because i have a 900lbs bumper dog insert in the bed that is is causing the issue. which is complete bull****. since the ford engineer came out i have to take the insert out and bring the truck back to the dealership. I'm getting sick and tired of this. you buy a 50k truck and it doesn't work. they wanna charge all this money and they produce complete trash. I've been in touch with ford motor company and they said since the engineer came out i have to do what they say in order to move onto a different resolve i.e getting a buy back or new truck,
Ford is buying back this trash 2024 6.8l from me. After 5 months of fighting back and forth I hand her in jan 9th. The truck got a new transmission they did all kind of weird **** to the suspension nothing fixed the "shifting" hesitation issue i was having. I ended up buying a 7.3l godzilla and havnt had any issues.
But by all means, do keep on moving the goal post from your original "no failures reported" to "just shifting issue like 10R140" to "no cause given". I bet next you want the poster to show his ID and order receipts to verify he is real.

The only thing that the Tremor package has that’s any better than a non Tremor is the front LSD. There’s much better aftermarket parts you can put on a non Tremor to make it better than a Tremor.

To post 40,
the Tremor is more designed to be beat on off the pavement getting stuck, full throttle runs in mud pits, crawling over large rocks in the desert. Ford might think the 10r100 isn't up to the task for this abuse, thus giving it the 10r140.
i think intended use plays a part on which truck receives which trans. Low stress, lower output 6.8 in F250 gets a lighter trans.
i dont think Ford designed the trucks with Ford knowing you'd be throwing aftermarket parts at them. The Tremor has factory 35" rubber I believe, LSD in front, and i think a small lift of 2". You can ABSOLUTELY put aftermarket parts on an Fx4 6.8 10r100 XL F250 to out wheel a stock 7.3 F250 10r140 Tremor. Stock its not designed to. I think for the intended design purpose the Tremor gets a heavier trans because from the factory its designed to take more punishing terrain.
