In an interesting quote, the Ford rep. indicated that the DCT was used because the A10 (a variation of the A10 in our cars) had trouble with the Torque! This is the opposite of what every other source has said on the ability DCT's to handle heavy torque. I would also point out that our ZL1 A10 seems to do fine with 650trq. And yes, I am aware of torque management software and its role in saving the transmission.

The ZL1 variant is a heavier duty version that not only did Ford not opt into, they were caught off guard that GM was executing and leading off with it in the ZL1. They thought they were gonna be first with the 10AT in their trucks. ZL1 beat ‘em by a few months.
