Getting ready to pull the trigger on either a left over 2025 Ranger XLT FX4 2.3 or maybe a new 2026.
Which transmission is lately being use on the latest rangers? 10R80? 10R60?

Any reliability issues on both?

I’ve got that exact setup on my 2025 - love it!

Is go for the 2025 if it’s cheaper. Not much, if anything, has changed between model years 25 and 26 for the XLT

My 2019 had the 10R80. I traded it in because the trans was getting worse the more miles it got. I think it was a matter of time before it grenaded.
My 2024 trans is much better, but i still get a lagging shift between 4th and 5th after coming off the highway. Everything else about it is good.

Thank you for the info it’s definitely something to consider before purchasing.

I should note that ibhave the ford procal and it retunes the transmission shifr stuff making it shift nicer. My son doesnt have a procal on his 24 ranger snd has over 20k miles amd said his shifts fine. He complained thay it felt weird when he first got it but he said its improved so much that he has zero complaints with transmission

A 2025 with a big discount would be the best decision.
Some 2026 might have actually less standard stuff as the packages are being reshuffled for profit.

Thank you that’s good to know, I’m new to the Ranger world been researching for the last year or so before pulling the trigger on it.

I get that 4th-5th gear stumble if I'm coming from a stop.

I have 3500 miles on my 2025 Lariat. The transmission is getting smoother and no issues at all. It initially shifted rough when cold (normal behavior based on lots of posts here) but even that seems to be getting better.

Thanks, good to know it’s just normal break in period.

Can a 10R60 be used to replace a 10R80 on a 2019 Ranger if I needed one?
