Ford trucks primarily rely on a 10-speed automatic transmission for most gasoline and diesel configurations, with exceptions for hybrids and electric models.
To understand how Ford outfits its current truck lineup, it helps to look at each model’s typical powertrain pairing. The exact transmission can vary by year, trim, and drivetrain, but the following reflects the mainstream setups in production as of the mid-2020s.
Current Ford trucks and their transmissions
Below is a snapshot of the main transmission pairings you’ll find with Ford’s contemporary trucks. Year and trim can affect the exact configuration.
- F-150 (2021–present): predominantly a 10-speed automatic transmission across most gasoline engines and the PowerBoost hybrid; the all-electric F-150 Lightning uses a single-speed gear reduction rather than a multi-gear automatic.
- Ford Super Duty (F-250/350/450; 2017–present): 10-speed automatic TorqShift used for gasoline and diesel powertrains, including the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel and the 7.3L gas V8.
- Ranger (2020–present): 10-speed automatic paired with the 2.3L EcoBoost and other available engines.
- Maverick (2022–present): two pathways depending on powertrain — an 8-speed automatic for the 2.0L EcoBoost and an electrified variant that employs an eCVT (electronic CVT) rather than a traditional automatic.
In addition to these mainline configurations, Ford’s electrified and alternative-powertrain models illustrate the range of approaches: the F-150 Lightning uses a single-speed setup suited to electric propulsion, while the hybrid Maverick uses an eCVT for seamless integration with its hybrid system. For SUVs and other non-truck models, transmission choices differ and are tailored to the specific drivetrain.
Summary
Across Ford’s current pickup lineup, the staple transmission for most gasoline and diesel trucks is a 10-speed automatic (notably in the F-150, F-Series Super Duty, and Ranger). The Maverick splits its offerings between an 8-speed automatic for the non-hybrid version and an eCVT for the hybrid version, while the all-electric F-150 Lightning operates with a single-speed transmission. Always verify the exact powertrain-transmission pairing for a given model year and trim, as updates can occur with new releases.
