mlundstrom96 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I am new to the diesel world but i understand that the 2020 F250 will have a 10 spd trans instead of the 6 spd. What will that do for the trucks performance? Why would I wait instead of getting a 2019? thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will that do for the trucks performance? Why would I wait instead of getting a 2019? thanks Mike I would expect the 10 speed to really keep the PowerStroke in the meat of it's powerband full-time. Expect minor changes in engine RPMs with shifts, and just a much smoother, refined delivery of power. That's what I expect the main difference for the 10 speed in the PowerStroke. I would expect a slight increase in fuel economy (5-10%), and slightly better performance, but nothing earth shattering. The PowerStroke has so much torque, it pulls hard in every gear. For a good comparison, go drive a 2016 F150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost with the 6-speed and compare it to a 2018 F150 with the same engine but 10-speed. Which engine?? Diesel. F250. That would be the 6.7L PowerStroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Diesel. F250. That would be the 6.7L PowerStroke. Good grief. I missed the word diesel. Twice. It’s been a long couple of days........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
