Bronco Mach-X which is essentially an electric Edge.

Or for us 4 Door lovers, an Electric FlexBronco Mach-X which is essentially an electric Edge.
I think the 4xe does that. It swaps the torque converter for an electric motor/generator that engages disengages with a clutchIIRC the 10spd auto has the ability or was designed to run a hybrid unit. I want to say internally they add a module or something so at least a hybrid model should be somewhat possible fairly soon (couple model years...not next gen). Full on electric might even be possible depending on how modular the mach e setup is.
The 10spd Ford has was a joint venture with GM but Ford apparently uses better material on some of the internal parts and has had fewer issues than GM. The 10sp has been used with some higher HP and TRQ setups...probably the best available auto trans.I think the 4xe does that.

I've also found a video showing the hybrid f150 powertrain. Seems like a similar implementation, but hard to tell from this video.
TBH I am concerned about the long term reliability of these hybrid transmission designs; especially for when people are throwing that much power through them.
How about a Bronco Sport-E. That way Ford can not only disappoint this forum, but also pun haters everywhere.Bronco Mach-X which is essentially an electric Edge.
I did some research into the 10 speed as well since complexity makes me nervous about long term reliability. It was a joint venture and GM seems to be phasing it out while Ford is shoving it in more and more vehicles. The common concerns seem to be that bad software can lead to it misbehaving, and that it needs regular transmission fluid changes(30k miles iirc) to maintain it's reliability because for whatever reason the electronics cannot handle the contamination. Seems like a lot of times issues with the transmission are solved just by replacing the electronics(which are bolted into the side of the unit and sealed within it. Thankfully the labor on replacing that part isn't that bad, but I presume the part cost is awful.The 10spd Ford has was a joint venture with GM but Ford apparently uses better material on some of the internal parts and has had fewer issues than GM.

So 1 flux capacitor and Mr. Fusion...got it.Something Ford can deliver on time would be a sick feature.
Amen!Hopefully, Rear seat air conditioner vents that don't look like a submarine periscope popping up from the front seat floorboards that have uncovered openings making them little more than dirt and cheeto catchers.
"Do you hear that "Rock Star" vehicle designers"? Yes, no? Am I talking to myself?
