How often and what type?

I have an Expe 5.4/4r100 4x4 (see signiture) that I use to tow a travel trailer up and down hilly country roads to and from state parks. I probably drive it 10,000 miles a year half of which are towing the 7000 lb TT. My question is how often should I change the transmission fluid and what type should I use? Should I use the Ford recommend stuff, Amsoil, etc?<O</O

With normal usage the interval is 30k for a flush and filter. i'd say in your case it would be cheap insurance to do it more frequently. I think frequency is more important than brand of fluid, but again based on your situation maybe it would be worth looking at some of the more high end fluids.

if your pan has a plug. i would just do a drain and fill every year, and change the filter every 30k
