I have 500 miles on my 2018 - when it's cold it shifts a little hard. After warming up it's the best tranny I've had in probably 20+ new trucks/cars I've had. Always in the right gear and downshifts nicely.

35k on mine, no issues whatsoever. Drove a 16 with a 6 speed a while back and man did it make me love my 10 speed.

another annoying thing about it to me is the skipped 2nd gear shift. my truck goes form 1st to 3rd on take off a lot. sometimes this causes the truck to lunge if I am in a parking lot or something. its an annoyance. I think both issues can be fixed with a reflash of the software.....

I think the 10 speed is mostly going to be ok, if there were really really bad problems with it we would know by now. Mine has the harsh shift when cold, which is annoying. I have tried a couple things to dimish it with mixed success, letting the truck run for a few moments before taking off. shifting, drive, reverse then drive again.

the 10 speed was created to eek out a smidgen more MPG, IMO its not a better transmission than the 6 speed. ford only went to it for more MPG, that was the driver. its a more complex transmission, which isn't helpful. BUT I don't think I have read about very many total failures of the transmission, certainly no more than what you would see with parts that have been out for a while.

For me this is all i can say after 10k miles:
It makes a decent bit of noises on a cold start
It can lunge from 1st into 3rd depending how fast you're going and throttle input when it goes to shift
When it's cold the shift into 5th gear is definitely pretty hard, BUT, it goes away as it warms up
Also when cold it can be a bit slow when it does the skip shifting, also goes away as it warms up
If it's stone cold (under 30 degrees) it is pretty slow going into reverse, like maybe a full second to shift into reverse

Yes it does do the lunge forward when it skips to 3rd quite often. I do believe that they can and will resolve that with a transmission update.

Has anyone experienced any engine "lugging" with it at any gear? My 2015 has been in the shop for a week now because the engine will turn at (barely) 1K RPM while in 4th or 5th and its been sputtering. Also had the TSB/SSM for the hard/harsh 5/4 downshift.
I'm getting tired of my POS 2015 so looking at jumping to a '17 with the 10 speed.
Thanks for the input.

What if you're towing first thing in the morning and the tranny is cold? How hard do you feel the shift/lunge with a trailer behind you? That would worry me a bit.

Can't say one bad thing about the 10 speed transmission. Had nothing bad to say about the previous 6 speed transmissions either but feel that the 10 speed is an improvement. Have about 14,000 miles on the 2017 now with about 2,000 of that towing a travel trailer. We had a week of -30 degree temps here recently so that put things to the test. It is the smoothest shifting transmission I have ever had, works very well for towing, and am very happy with it. Can't say it allows the engine to lug as it always seems to be in the right gear but yet does not overshift or hunt between gears.

30K on mine and has been a pleasure to drive. Best transmission I've ever had. Has the startup rattle but it doesn't seem to hurt anything. It's done it since day one.
