'17 F-150 3.5 EB with 10 Speed Tranny

In as much as I don't know what 'auto stop' is, I'll pas that along to my BIL. He's the lead designer in charge of the new 10 speed box.

Auto stop sucks. And the manufacturers suck for not letting you permanently disable it. I work with a guy who just bought a new3.5/EB and he loves it...except he hates the auto-stop. Ditto a friend of mine.

But that being said I've heard nothing but good about the 3.5 ten speed combo aside from the above issue, and 6k should be easy for it.

I haven't given the 10 speed a go yet but the 3.5 is impressive and will rip 6K around without fuss. It looks like the start stop feature is standard on the new trucks, in my opinion it is about the most annoying feature of anything I have ever driven, right up their with Ram's dial a gear transmission selector. You can disable the start stop feature but your have to push the button anytime you restart the truck. Other than that the F-150 is tough to beat.
