Of course it is a moot point now with everyone doing away with manual trannies. Can't blame them though they make a ton of money on tranny rebuilds on trucks. Think about it, I bet you know at least two people who have had to rebuild or replace a tranny in a newer less then 75000 mi truck. At the tune of 3-6 grand that's not bad returning money.

Ford is the only one that doesn't offer at least 100K warranty on powertrain now. So they must be decent now
