5 Speed Auto with Overdrive feels like a 6 speed?
I have the 2008 XLT 4.0L SOHC 4x4 with the 5 Speed Automatic with Overdrive Transmission
When I turn overdrive off, it goes through five shifts still, when it is on, it shifts five times and then enters overdrive, which is like a 6 speed in my views, anyone else ever notice this?
Will post a video when I can find a way to mount my camera to my truck properly.

Nailed it. Had the same thing in my F150. 4 speed trans. Felt like it shifted 5 times, one of the "shifts" was actually just the Torque converter locking.

+1 torque converter... I've got a scangauge II and I can watch the gear ratio and the torque converter slip ratio and watching the rpm it can look/feel like 6 or 7 speeds but there's only 5 gear ratios and rest is just torque converter locking and unlocking.
I want an auto trans like my wife's new car... torque converter between 0-5mph only after that it's a 6 speed computer automatic controlled manual. Very cool and great for gas mileage too with no torque converter in play.
