Gearbox Type: 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic
The 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission is a hallmark of Ford’s latest generation trucks. It features real-time adaptive shift scheduling that allows the transmission to adapt to changing conditions. In "Tow/Haul" mode, it holds gears longer to provide engine braking when descending hills with a trailer.
Drive Type: Permanent 4WD with Terrain Management
High-spec Everest models feature a permanent four-wheel-drive system using an electronically controlled on-demand transfer case. It includes a "4A" mode for everyday driving on bitumen, which automatically distributes power between the front and rear axles as needed. It also offers dedicated modes for Sand, Mud/Ruts, and Slippery conditions.
Clutch Type: Torque Converter with Lock-up
The transmission utilizes a heavy-duty torque converter designed to handle the 600 Nm of torque. It includes a lock-up clutch that engages at higher speeds to eliminate "slip" and improve fuel efficiency on the highway, essentially creating a direct mechanical link between the engine and the wheels.
