So it's gas, not diesel?
towing comparison
I towed 1100 miles to the track with my 2021 2500 14000 lb enclosed toy hauler,dealer delivered my 2024 3500 hd to the track and towed same rig home,the low end torque of the new motor is noticable top end at highway speed is about the same the 21 got 9.2 mpg towing the 2024 averaged 8.5 on the way home i had to order the 18 tires the 20 inch were on constraint the 2024 with 18 inch tires has more trailer sway.the active cruise is programmed well and worked good while towing it applies the trailer brakes and if someone cuts in front of you but is accelerating it does not apply the brakes the new dash is nice i have had no issues with the truck at 2800 miles,the 2021 got 20 mpg at 75 the 2024 gets about 19 unloaded seems like it lost 1mpg in all conditions,i had a 2019 and it was 1 mpg better than the 2021 i dont know why evertime they inprove the truck it gets worse milage,i dont care about the cost but my towing range went from 310 miles on the 2021 to 280 now so i had to adjust my gas stops on my trips.great truck so far

yesss, cause all the parts are interchangeable.

Couldn't help it. The only thing those two trans have in common is 10 speeds and a barrel design
It does seem to suck that there was a 1-2 mpg loss with the L5p going from the 6spd to the 10. But then again, why is it allot of us seem to think that if we get more horse power, torque, payload, greater acceleration and towing capacity that the mileage should be better too. At the end of the day Fuel burn creates energy.

it's been debunked over and over the gm / Allison 10 speed had zero input from fordExcept for the 10spd transmission...
You're welcome Satar...
I agree, but these things are programmed with a lot of torque management. If they are going down the highway, they aren’t creating a ton more power. They should be more fuel efficient, unless you are using it to a degree to use additional energy.
