An F-350 Transmission Is Hiding in the 2026 F-250 Tremor

Mark the Tremor option on a 2026 Ford F-250 with the 7.3 V8, and the transmission changes along with it. If you leave the package off, you get the lighter duty 10 speed. Choose it, and you receive the heavy duty unit that every 7.3 F-350 includes. So what did I borrow: an off roader, or a transmission upgrade riding on 35 inch tires?
