An electronically controlled 4-speed wide-ratio automatic overdrive transmission is available on F-150 and E-Series with the 4.2L, 4.6L and 5.4L engines.

Features and benefits:

• Fully electronic shift control provides a wide range of smooth shifts for optimum performance
• Overdrive lowers engine rpm at highway speeds, contributing to fuel economy
• Lockup torque converter is downsized for efficiency and high-rpm engine use
• 100 percent of torque is converted mechanically in third and fourth gears
• Gear ratios selected for maximum utilization of engine's broad torque range; provides increased output of low-gear torque and enhances start-up performance
• Overdrive transmission control switch mounted on shift lever locks out overdrive fourth gear when additional engine torque is needed or to obtain third-gear engine braking on downgrades

A 4R100 electronically controlled 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission is available on select F-150 models, F-250 - 550 and E-Series models with 5.4L, 6.8L and 7.3L engines.

Features and benefits:

• Overdrive fourth gear and mechanical "no-slip" power flow contribute to fuel economy
• Split torque path in third gear transfers by torque converter 40 percent (hydrodynamically) and 60 percent (mechanically) of the engine torque through solid connection to the driveshaft
• 100 percent of the torque is transmitted mechanically in fourth gear
• Heavy-duty components to satisfy light truck needs
• Overdrive transmission control switch mounted on shift lever locks out overdrive fourth gear when additional engine torque is needed or to obtain third-gear engine braking on downgrades
