Tranmission Failure

[Trustable]

Yes, he said he has warranty until January.

Ah ok. Sorry I missed that.

About to hit 70k on my 2019, and half of those miles are towing. Changed fluid at 60k. No issues or unexpected behavior other than the usual 10R80 quirks.

I'm curious, anyone ever put a different transmission other than a 10R80 in a Ranger?

unfortunately not unheard of. many make it well past the 100k miles point before failure, many others don't.

the 2019 10R80 didn't get the updated parts that arrived in 2022/2023. the CDF drum got updated and then i think there was a bearing or sleeve or something that also got updated. there are weaknesses in the throttle body design that still haven't been addressed (supposedly) and can cause issues on even a brand new 10R80 -- though the 2024+ F-150s with the 10R80 appear to be doing much better with the aforementioned updates.

6th gen rangers abandoned the 10R80 and went to a 10R60 that also appears to be doing much better.

i also have a 2019 ranger like you. lately it has been misbehaving a lot more (96k miles). sorry to hear that this one bit you. hopefully you have some kind of powertrain warranty coverage. it's a good truck! the transmission just sucks nuggets.

EDIT: be sure to go look in the transmission section of this forum. there are lots and lots of threads about the transmission.

I have a 2019 ranger shifting hard. I got a front to back warranty and probably gonna have to replace the tranny. My question is what transmission is the replacement for this year that won't have future issues because of all the prior issues with this year? Is there one I can ask the mechanic to use? I'm not familiar with the verbage needed. I'd appreciate any advice

The 10R80 is the only transmission Ford will install in a Ranger. The good news is there have been multiple engineering updates in the last 6 years.

But I wonder if anyone has done it themselves or at a private shop other than Ford.
