6 Speed Auto Trans?
I just saw that Ford will be using the new 6 Speed Auto Trans in the new 07 Exp. Do you think that Ford will put that with the new 6.4L or stick with the 5 Speed? The six speed might be a nice option.

That 6 speed in the exp won't be able to handle the torque of the V10, let alone the PSD.
If we see a 6 speed, it will just be a variant of the current trans (which has 6 gears, just never uses them at the same time)

On Edit: The 2007 SD will more than likely make it's first appearance at the New York Auto show April of this year.

One of the latest rumors I've heard about some of the problems with the development of the 6.4 SD is that the heat off the turbos is causing the paint on the hood to burn off... but just a rumor nonetheless.
