What transmission does Ford use?

Ford’s Transmission
Ford uses the 10R80 transmission, which is a 10-speed automatic transmission. This transmission was first produced at the Ford Livonia Transmission Plant in Livonia, Michigan. It is part of a joint-venture between Ford Motor Company and General Motors to design and engineer two transmissions, a longitudinal 10-speed transmission and a transverse 9-speed trans-axle. Each company manufactures its own unique version of the transmissions in their own factories. The 10-speed transmission was designed by Ford, while GM designed the 9-speed transmission which is used in transverse applications.
The 10R80 transmission is used in several Ford vehicles, including the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang, Ford Ranger, and Ford Everest.
