10R60 (not 10R80) 10-speed automatic transmission for 2021 Bronco [update: confirmed in Ford parts system]

[2Jeeps&PatriotX1]

I mean the explorer tows a not insignificant amount more than the Bronco and if it’s rated for it it can tow up a 7% grade.

I don’t think that tires really matter that much as far as stress on the transmission as long as your gearing is good. My JK 3.8 with 3.21 axle ratios definitely strains a bit with my 33’s lol.

Except for heat. Moving from 33s to 35s on my LJ, both on 4.88 gears saw a significant trans temp increase on flat roads in FL where the steepest incline is the entrance ramp to the highway.

Apparently the 10R60 shifts drastically different than the 10R80 - and in a positive manner. The 10R60 is not slushy, jerky, laggy or clunky when it downshifts. In fact, you can barely tell that it's downshifting when coming to a stop and there's no jerkiness. So, we got that going for us!

Not saying it’s the case here but studies have shown Wikipedia is around 94% accurate.

The issue is the ability to change info, screen shot it, then it gets changed back.

Did you source that from Wikipedia?

Well hopefully they have the fix first before sending them out if we end up with the 10R60.

It was determined that the issue was weak hose nozzles on the trans coolers so their was a tsb that replaces it with a better made trans cooler.

So yeah, one would hope that Ford puts the new version of the trans cooler in moving forward.

If only the trans was as easily swappable as the wiper blades... yeah, I'd have something to say about crappy wiper blades.

Lol some people are like la la la I hear Nothing the automatic will be ok.

Honestly, we just don't know one way or another until we start driving - and drive more than 8000 miles (per TDS).

What has me is that we were told something by the engineers and experts only to find that it's not. If the 10R60 is good enough to race with, then it's good enough for me to feel confident to last with my off-roading and normal driving. However, Ford chose the 10R80 to race and say it's the transmission used in the production Bronco. So what is it? We just don't know because Ford is not racing with the 10R60.

I don’t find the 10R80 to have any of those characteristics. Nearly everyone who owns a Ranger loves it including me. Sometimes the downshifts are somewhat aggressive but I wouldn’t say clunky or jerky and definitely not slushy. It’s a very nice transmission.

Where did you see the Ford replaced the stock transmission with the 10R80 to race? This says stock Badlands:

It seems Ford chose to race the 10R60 here...

Or worse, they don’t get the bad rear ones with the soft top

If Ford races the 60 then that is good news. I started this thread with questions and seeking a deeper insight into the 60, not as a rag session. I have never thought the 60 was made of glass and would shatter the first time you put the truck in low range. There is just so little information on the 60 other than anecdotal accounts across the web. Longevity after a hard life on the rocks is a real question but for now that will likely be left unanswered.

We are using the production transmission... 10R80?

Racing with another transmission and calling it production grade is really low brow.
Needs a corrective statement with new race results using the 10R60 to prove it's ready for the market.
