Finned cast aluminum pan with a magnetic drain plug that replaces the stamped 10R80 pan on 2017-up F-150, Bronco, Ranger, Expedition and Mustang.
Tired of dropping a full pan of MERCON ULV on the floor every time your 10-speed needs fluid? This cast aluminum pan replaces the stamped steel pan on Ford 10R80 and 10R60 transmissions in 2017-up F-150, Ranger, Expedition, Navigator, Mustang, Explorer, Aviator and Bronco, and adds a magnetic drain plug so a drain-and-fill no longer means unbolting the pan. It cross-references to pan number 328053220 and Ford HL3Z-7A194-B, HL3Z-7A194-C and LP5Z-7A194-B.
The pan is the fluid sump for the whole transmission. The filter hangs inside it and the pump draws through the filter, so the pan has to hold a stable level, survive rock and debris strikes, and keep the filter seal in place. The factory 10R80 pan is stamped steel with no drain plug, which turns every service into a messy pan-drop. This one is cast aluminum with exterior fins and interior bracing, so it is stiffer against impacts and sheds more heat into the airflow under the truck, a small but real help when towing.
The magnetic drain plug matters more than it looks. The ten-speed sheds fine clutch and bearing material in normal use, and the magnet holds it where you can see it. Checking that magnet at each service is a free early warning. A light fuzz is normal; chunks or heavy gray aluminum silt are not.
Read what is on the old filter and in the bottom of the pan. Ford's bulletins on 10R80 harsh 3-5 shifts point to gray silt on top of the filter as the sign of F clutch damage to the 7B177 shell, and a pan-drop is the cheapest moment to catch it. If you see it, read our 10R80 common problems and fixes guide before buttoning things up. Harsh engagement with clean fluid usually traces to adaptive or solenoid issues instead; our 10R80 pressure control solenoid symptoms guide covers that side.
Listed fitment is 2017-2026 F-150 (2.7L, 3.0L, 3.3L, 3.5L and 5.0L), 2019-2026 Ranger, 2018-2025 Mustang 2.3L and 5.0L, 2018-2024 Expedition 3.5L, 2020-2026 Explorer, 2021-2026 Bronco, 2020-2026 Lincoln Aviator and 2018-2026 Navigator. PowerBoost hybrid F-150s and some Super Duty applications use a different case, so pull the number off your old pan and confirm the transmission tag before ordering, or send us your year and VIN.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. The listed fitment includes 2021-2026 Bronco and the pan is made for both the 10R60 and the 10R80.
Hybrid PowerBoost trucks use a different case. Check the number on your existing pan and the transmission tag before ordering.
No. The pan comes with a magnetic drain plug and 18 bolts with washers. Buy a gasket and a filter separately, or choose our pan kit that includes the filter.
Refill with MERCON ULV, then check and set the level through the fill plug at the 206-215 F check temperature. Do not go by quart count; overfill causes overheating and venting.
A light gray fuzz is normal wear. Chunks, flakes or a heavy coat of gray aluminum silt point to clutch or shell damage and are worth investigating before the next drive.
