    Ah, Mitsi. Do Tritons still need gearboxes rebuilt by 30k km like some of the previous models?

    My work ones been pretty good. Only fuck ups have been an airbag sensor and a driveshaft boot. The gearbox was a little disobedient but now its had the edges ground off its much better.

    Local brand new ranger auto ate its gearbox with less than 1000km on it.
    Apparently Ford are asking owners to bring them in if their ute "changes funny"

    I know the guy who runs the Quarry across from Pengys place is on his 3rd gearbox for his Ranger which is now out of warranty (but being covered anyway apparently)
