They don't have one exactly. You could possibly spend a bunch of money and get a souped up AOD. It has the overdrive and doesn't need a computer, but it's not a large towing type tranny for a f250 pickup.

The one you need is the E4OD. When it's rebuilt to 95-up specs, it's a strong tranny. But one problem with it; You need a computer to run it. There are a couple of companies that make aftermarket stand alone computers to run this tranny, but they are around $500 + you need a couple hundred more for the wiring harness. But this would hold up to some heavy duty use.
