Ehh, and down the road they go racking up the miles same as the Toyotas. Mine's at 150k, a 3.5 ecoboost.

And let me get this straight, someone needs to trade in their 2017 truck because of a potentially $1.5k, maybe a fair amount less, repair?

It's not 1.5k lol. You severely underestimate the cost of a Transmission replacement. That Transmission job is about 5k to 8k depending on if you want to go Reman or New.

Valve body ≠ Transmission...

It is in this market. Nobody really rebuilds these units in house, so you use the old unit as a core and get a Remanufactured unit from Jasper or another rebuilder.
