From what I understand, all of the 1/2 ton trucks are going to use the same trans, no matter the motor. Makes me wonder if the V6, 5.0, and V6EB are all the same bell pattern.

The only one still going to use the 6sp will be the new 3.3 n/a V6. And I think you're right about the bell pattern. I can't see them retooling all of the engines for a different one.

Now that you made me think about it, I want a L swap with a 10sp in my 10th gen!

With a M122 blower from a GT500 and raptor suspension. Lol

I just can't believe they are running with hearsay to write an article. I reddit and I can't believe far more than half of what I see there. If they aren't bringing back a small work truck cab setup ranger then they are missing the point entirely.

Very True. I just feel like Ford is missing a huge opportunity if they don't come out with a solid front axle "wrangler fighter". I guess all we can do is wait and see.
