At some point does the high number of gears in a tranny become an annoyance due to gear hunting? I've heard a few complaints on the Ram 8spd for this. I'm currently in a 6sp which, when I was a kid, was 3 more gears than the best tranny :) 10 just seems ridiculous.
That's what I was thinking. I wonder if they'll skip gears under light load.
Skipping/ starting in a higher gear would not be surprising ,my 12 speed starts in third (load sensing) then 5.7.10 .12.
Better than freightliner, even Bob tailing the highest gear they start in is 2nd.
How many over drive gears is the Ford 10 speed going to have? If it's more than two I think would be prone to hunting more.
