So after almost two years of ownership of my F150 Lariat and putting up with the horrendous 10 speed transmission (google the issues if you want) Im out of the F150. However one major issue that has happened twice, and to others as well is a violent "bang" and shudder then accompanied by the traction control light coming on at 65plus mph on the highway when the transmission shifts from 10th gear to 6th gear when passing. It's downright scary. I got a fair deal on a 2023 CPO Silverado (6,500 miles) with 4WD and the LT trim package and the technology suite. It was formerly the dealer service loaner. I traded in the F150.
My mistake with the F150 was not buying the Ford Factory warranty when it was eligible-and I put far less dollars down (cash wise) than the cost of a new transmission.
Since it's a CPO the Silverado has a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Dealer threw in black side steps as part of the deal-to be installed in the next couple of days.
Before those of you say the ten speed was designed by GM and Ford-that's true but different programming and internals make them different animals. Each time the F150 shifted it felt like it was going to break. Silverado is silky smooth.
NOT SORRY TO SEE THE F-150 GO!
