I've been pretty busy over the last week and might have missed a thread started about this but if not here is an article about the new Expy with a 6 speed.

They are saying 9,100 towing capacity so it looks like this tranny could be swapped into a F150 and still be able to tow a heavy load.

 

That would be a nice mod. Only thing is how much computer work would need to be done, if not a full swap. And will the tranny bolt up, or will a new cross member have to come into play, and so on. My head hurts now, but I want one. Time will tell if it will be a doable swap. Maybe it would be easier then I am thinking.

 

The F150 will have a beefed 5spd soon enough.

 

asinatra....Do you work for Ford or how do you know about all this? Maybe you cant share but im just curious. It seems that you have the inside track on alot of things that involve the F-150.

 

Before they make the vehicle, they have to have the parts. They can't just make the parts for the day they start production.
