@16plati - side note here - you handled my jab phenomenally. I don't see any troll attitude here, just good clean fun. You're pretty cool in my book

Thanks man!

Meh. If it truly is "hunting" as you claim (without actually owning or regularly operating a 10 speed trans), then it's the most amazing hunting I've ever witnessed.
I've played with the throttle - on flat and hilly terrain - trying to test the speed of which this transmission shifts. EVERY single time, the computer and transmission shift extremely quickly and deliberately into gear and this big hunk of aluminum gets moving.
I'll give you this - I've not yet put 1k miles on my '19, and I haven't been towing anything substantial yet. But I absolutely have put it through some tests. I'm very happy and quite surprised at its performance.

Mines an 18 with 2600 miles. I tried the sport mode once and I was pretty dang impressed that a three ton vehicle could be that quick. No problems with my trans either, shifts good fast or slow.

Y’all should give 5 star a look. Really wakes up the ecoboost with their custom calibrations

I've thought about it once or twice, but this Platinum, it already feels noticeably stronger than the limited I test drove.
Its performance is better than my 09 Escalade that had the 6.2L aluminum v8. I'm not sure it's worth the extra $500+ to me yet to go with 5 Star

Just tried the sport mode for the first time yesterday. Throttle is quick but was downshifting hard when i was coming to a stop like a manual shift.

I am in a 19 Expediton Max limited 4x4 rental that just rolled over 10,000 miles. There is nothing happening like the OP describes. I find the 10 speed shifts smoothly without hunting.

Mine shifts the same in my opinion. Theres never a delay on any shifts, and it often skips gears because Its under light load and doesn't need every gear. I usually goes 1-3-5-6-7-8-9-10 if I just daily drive it. Its by far the best transmission I've even driven! The NAG1 Mercedes trans was great too, but its only a 5 speed and this thing is far superior!

I have a 17 that shows the what gear you are in. The 19 limited does not unless I put in manual mode. Is there a setting to show the gear on the dash.

**Please don't waste time looking it up in the manual, if it exists and you know great*

I should only have it a day or 2 more but I do like seeing the auto's selection. If it is hunting it's the smoothest auto transmission doing that I've driven.

Press the plus button under your shift knob. (Or maybe it's the minus...I've answered this one before and I'm usually backwards but someone corrects me)

I think it's the plus button. Just happen to notice/ find this today

Yay! I finally picked the right one!

Related: Everyone probably knows this but....if you leave it in Auto and press the minus button, you can lock out the upper gears such that you can limit the top gear to whatever you want.

To the OP or others, do you have other vehicles with CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) where you don't feel any shifting?

I had a company provided and later owned Prius. I'd drive that all week and when I drove 2002 Tacoma on the weekends, each shift felt jarring. It was normal for the Taco but not feeling any shifting all week made it feel like the taco's transmission was defective.

In my mind ATV's are belt driven, not cars! lol

You’re comparing a hybrid to a midsize truck? That’s like comparing apples to lasagna
