So Ford is getting a 6 speed tow haul transmission in 2016. I guess this is similar to what WH had with the Allison transmission way back in 2006.
It was easy for Ford to be leader of the pack when they had no competition.
Talk about engineers that screw things up, the two piece spark plug fiasco that Ford did with the F53 chassis up through 2008 is a perfect example of bad engineering. Then again, this may be the same engineers that screwed up the spark plugs in the 2 valve engines.
If anyone thinks that Ford, or any other manufacturer can build a chassis without some problems, they are dreaming. Ford has had a history of major recalls with all of their vehicles that makes the WH brake issue seem like a minor incident.
