Manufacturer of f150 transmission?

[SumGuy]

Ford used to build a ZF transmission, but I cannot find what transmission ford is using in the current f150s. Anyone know?

I assume it is shared with the navigator, explorer, and others as well.

I read a towing review on Ford, GM, and Ram half ton trucks. The author said the current 10 speed transmission was a joint venture with GM and Ford. Each company has their own programming.

After some random digging, and a year later, appears ZF still makes the transmission for ford - however, it is apparently manufactured in Mexico now vs USA.

The explorer/aviator uses a 10R60, the F150, exp/nav, and mustang use the 10R80 and the SD’s use a 10R140. I *assume* they’re all made by the same manufacturer, but they are not the same transmissions.

I’m fairly certain the gear ratios vary from model to model, even between the exp/nav, F150 and mustang.

That’s not directly related to your question, but is relevant to the first post

Manufacturer of f150 transmission?

While R&D for for some Ford tranny's is shared with other companies I believe you'll find that the actual manufacturing of all 10Rxxx transmissions used in Ford vehicles is done in-house at either the Ford Livonia (Michigan) Transmission Plant or the Ford Sharonville (Ohio) transmission Plant.

This Ford Corporate webpage has info on all of Ford's worldwide transmission plants and the versions that each produces.

Guys check Wikipedia.

The 10R80 was first produced at the Ford Livonia Transmission Plant in Livonia, Michigan.

Ford's Sharonville Transmission plant started 10R80 production in 2018
