2016 Ford Mustang And F150 Will Has 10-Speed Automatic Transmission

It has been rumored since last year that, Ford and GM are working together on the 9-speed (FWD) and 10-speed (RWD) automatic transmissions (the details are, Ford is working on the 10-speed and will supply to GM; in return, GM will work on the 9-speed and supply to Ford).

Now according a report from the Automotive News, the F150 truck will get the 10-speed transmission at the end of 2015 as a 2016 model; and the same will happen on the Mustang too.

Although we do not know the exact timing of this change on each model, we can safely bet you will have a chance to feel the 10-speed in 2016.
