Basically, the truck will downshift quicker, hold gears longer, and generally try to keep the engine higher up in the rev range for better power delivery. Now this won’t make your F-150 feel like the old Lightning pickup, but it will put just a bit more pep in your trucks step. The Mustang uses a similar six-speed automatic transmission, and Ford is using advancements made for its muscle car to make the F-150 a little better. Big dreams and big enthusiasm are great ways to describe Christian. When not writing about cars he can be found trying to complete his life goal of becoming a race car driving, astronaut, rock-star.
