I just wanted to throw this out as a FYI.
First, ignore Ford's "it's sealed lifetime fluid and you don't have to change it for 150,000 miles". That's garbage.

Here are several videos on our 6r80 transmission shared with the F-150.
It is by a Ford service technician.
Really good info. (By the way, don't waste $ on a flush....explained in a video)

Apparently the 6r80 is susceptible to overheating while towing without a trans oil cooler, especially with the ecoboost engine in the transit.
Interesting blog on this:
