4R70W vs 4R100

What's the major differences between
the 4R70W and 4R100? Did the 2001 F150 come with both?

The major difference is that the 4R100 has more torque capacity. The 4R100 has 1000 lb-ft maximum, after the torque converter multiplication, while the 4R70W has 700 lb-ft capacity, also after the torque converter multiplication.

The 4R100 is physically larger, and the two transmissions don't share any parts.

Depending on year and engine, the F150 could have either.
