^^^TBA. Though I would be surprised if the 8 speed was offered before the F-150 next gen.

Funny. They can't even get the 6 spd right. I guess Toyota will have to develop a 10 spd now lol.

Every other manufacturer is planning on 8 speeds. Dodge boys think it will put them on top.
I'm interested in the new tranny but not enough to trade in my 2011, I love it. Besides 4 to 6% better mileage is only 1 mpg on my ecoboost.
0-60 times probably won't get better as 2 gear changes are not faster than 1, unless you have a Ferrari paddle shifter...

I wonder if this is more about the 6 speed being so bad or more about fuel economy in itself?
