bhalldorson Report post Posted October 25, 2019 Purchased Lincoln MKT new in 2015 but didn’t set up for towing until this summer. Parked at dealer today to get transmission rebuilt with only 62K miles. Only 3K towed miles and last trip was in August. Owner’s manual set up procedure followed explicitly. Dealer doesn’t believe towing caused the failure and is repairing under warranty, but never had a transmission fail with such low mileage. Any observations? 3.5L EcoBoost AWD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txiceman Report post Posted October 25, 2019 We had a Ford Explorer that we used to tow a small travel trailer, well within Fords ratings. Had the tranny rebuilt at 10,000 miles. Sometimes you get a bad one right out of the box. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huffypuff Report post Posted October 26, 2019 Ford transmissions on the newer cars are very touchy with a little off programing can trash the transmission. The replacement transmission has to have all the solenoids numbers programmed into the computer before it's ever put into gear. That is online with the programming tool to the Ford website. The AWD PTU is lots of problems also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
