Tune and transmission problems???

[alex lobos]

So with the recent announcement of HP Tuners now having a tune for the 2025+ mavericks and broncos. I was considering getting one. On a page a fellow mavericker expressed the weakest point of the truck is the transmission, and followed up with you tuned mavericks have trans issues, they fail down the line etc. etc.
How many of you higher mileage maverickers have had trans issues? And what were they?

I got a 2024 Ford Maverick Tremor, equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, uses a specialized 8-speed automatic transmission designed for both efficiency and off-road capability. Unlike the hybrid Maverick models that use an electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT), the Tremor features a traditional geared transmission that provides a more direct and robust feel, but, this transmission is technically rated for approximately 260 lb-ft of torque, which is interesting given that the stock 2.0L EcoBoost engine produces 277 lb-ft of torque. Because the factory output already exceeds the "nominal" rating of the 8F35, the unit relies heavily on its active cooling system and PCM (Power Control Module) software to manage the load.

Lots of opinions, not so many blown transmissions.

Well, my take is if Ford Performance announced this year the 300 T upgrade is to be offered with larger turbo, intercooler, tune etc...while maintaining factory warranty,,,with no mention of trans modification...I'd say....drill baby drill ..LOL

I have a JB4 on my LOBO. So far so good. I've been driving it like a psycho for three weeks now.
