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

[VelocityBrew]

What a tuner will do does not reflect what Ford is willing to do.

You really missed the point.

This is dumb. How much cheaper can the 10R60 be than the 80? Really Ford? That's where you're going to pinch pennies?

This must have been a semi-recent decision that Ford has not yet made a publicly official. Before the reveal when we were getting Bronco R teasers, an engineer specifically said the bronco R has an off the shelf powertrain identical to what the production Bronco would be. He specifically said 10R80.

Am I ignorant and naive? Probably.

for yearsI subscribed to Automobile, Road and Track, Car and Driver and Motor Trend.

I feel like when new cars were announced but not yet for sale, there was more solid info publicized than seems to be left to theorize by us, when we are so deep into the ordering process.

 

[Virtual-Chris]

What are the differences between the two?

2.3 gets the 60 2.7 gets the 80

2.3 gets the 60 2.7 gets the 80

Do you have a source for this? It seems like until this morning we all assumed 10r80 for both, but there's only been evidence put forward for the 10r60.

Enjoy the 10r80 Ive been driving for 3yrs in my f150, have no idea difference between that and the 60 as Ive never needed to find out.

How does this even work? Doesn’t the torque in a stock 2.7 exceed the torque rating of the 60?

It will be fine as long as you don’t mod it or floor it

Dang... this could seriously be a deal-breaker for me. I plan on using our Bronco to tow frequently up to 3,000 lb. I feel the 2.7 is a very capable engine. But if the transmission is already borderline, that kind of kills my confidence. My wife and I were ready to pull the trigger on a Jeep Wrangler Diesel back in July before the Bronco was announced. Maybe I need to start reconsidering that option.

One of the biggest arguments for the Bronco was that the engine and transmission were already proven in the F-150. But now, this appears to not be the case.

 

[Tricky Dick]

This SOP for Ford, using "just enough" transmission. It's more unusual that the Ranger has the 80 than that the Bronco does not.

Or take it off-road.

All I can say is, very glad to have chosen to go with the manual transmission. That Getrag 7MTI550 is a BEAST!

You could always...

*really do wish it had the '80 for the folks who can't solve a manual transmission...

 

[NotApplicable]

This seems like a non-issue to me if it is true
