I see they used the 10R80 in the 2017 Raptor which is 510 lb/ft torque stock. At 590 lb/ft rating, it wouldn't take too much modification on the Raptor to knock on the transmission max rated torque door and I haven't heard of any mass failures of that tranny in the Raptor.
I 99'd mine a while ago because of too much confusion and change in what was available with what. I was #2 of > 60 in line at my dealer, Area 51, Badlands Sasquatch, Lux, MIC, 2.7L, tow. The big payoff would be if there is a green for '22. I'm in rural northern Indiana and I could deal with a...
The base issue is taken care of, Ford said I don't lose my reservation if I don't convert. The rest is now the background for information. I have had two other dealers tell me I can't do anything and would lose my reservation, so there is a lot of confusion out there among the dealers.

I have received one response from a local dealer and they said they couldn't change it and I had to do it through the dealer I am with. I only have a 2nd day $100 reservation, no actual order. I am actually #2 in line at the dealership if I was to order a MY21
I have been traveling a significant portion of last year and almost all of this year, so far. I have not had time to completely determine what I am going to order, and time is running out, so I determined it best to switch to MY22. My dealer has informed me that I need to put down a $1,500...
I have bought two from Bob Thomas, dealing with Andy Hicks both times. He and his wife actually delivered my Super Duty to my place in Portland after work because I didn't have a second driver at the time.
I have bought 2 Fords from Bob Thomas, before and after they were called Bob Thomas, and had a great experience. I deal with Andy Hicks at the Illinois Road location. He has been keeping me updated as he hears things from Ford, but admittedly, they are not hearing much yet.
