Initially I had some hard 1-3 up shifts, and 4-3 down shifts, but they have smoothed out.

Now once and a while, on the first 3-4 up shift of the day, it will hang a bit, like I've clutched in.

After the first 3-4 shift, it goes away completely.

I notice it happens more if I'm really light on the throttle, and not so much if I'm a little heavier footed.

Otherwise it's been great, and you really don't notice it at all.

My pedal commander has made it downshift more often, but that's just because it's reading more throttle input than what I'm actually giving.

I still have my fingers crossed that no major (or minor for that matter) issues arise as time goes on.

Really liked the 2.7/6AT combo in my '15, like the 2.7/10AT combo in my '18 even more! Now with just over 4K miles, shifting has been largely uneventful. I really began to notice things smoothing out at around 2500-3K miles. Always seems to be in the right gear, rarely get a stumble or harsh shift anymore. I especially like all the drive modes, as well as the manual ability to control gears. This is a very adaptable AT. I have about 500 miles of trailer towing so far (5K# tandem flatbed), and I'll tell you, the 10AT is a beast in Tow/Haul! Trailering is actually fun with this 2.7/10AT & all the built-in trailer electronics.

My wife had a Honda Pilot with the 9AT for a while.....you talk about a BAD transmission. Wow. Kept if for about 20K miles, couldn't deal with it any more. So far, this 10AT is great!

I've got 20K on mine and only a minor issue or two... It sometimes hesitates a little, like its trying to decide which gear to go to. and... it kind of "clunks' occasionally during in town driving. Its sort of related to the other issue. It kind of hunts for the proper gear, then it seems to shift to a higher gear than it should, which causes the clunk.

It falls on its face when shifting from 1st to 3rd, because the converter locks as soon as you hit 3rd. It's not very smooth, and it doesn't do a good job sorting out the gears. I do like it when towing, but it is far from refined for everday driving. Still needs a lot of refining and I've been driving mine for a year and a half and 18,000+ miles.
This is how mine is acting as well, that torque converter lockup is terrible. I have 30k miles and it continues to get worse. 3rd, 5th and 6th gear actually feels like I'm pushing the throttle in and out everytime it shifts. Trying to get it fixed at the dealer and instead they are replacing the phasers.

Almost everyone at the dealership I went to drives an F150. They all told me that the new A10 would take some getting used to.
It does feel a little weird sometimes, but overall pleased with it.

18,000+ miles. Veeeeeeery happy. From time to time I feel it hunt for a gear or two. Other than that it is like an old power-glide... Smoooooooooth. Could not be happier with a transmission...

like i said overall mine is pretty good and i do like the transmission, however it does seem like mine has developed a little bit of maybe a misfire or TC shudder, hard to tell but its not hateful. Getting checked out next week

The 10 Speed is incredibly smooth. I don't even know it's shifting gears most of the time. Like I said, I only have clunkyness in the lower 3 gears when I'm starting and stopping, and that's only sometimes.

To have a transmission that is this refined in a pick up truck is pretty amazing. You almost forget that you are in a truck until you get that one "clunk" and then you remember that this is not a Towncar.

My 2017 lacks refinement. I've driven several others, both 2017 and 2018, that lack refinement. The 6 speed I had prior, as well as other 6 speeds I have driven, were more refined.
