    "New Cars" is right!
    First Gen Raptor spat the torque converter at about 20,000kms.
    Under warranty, John Andrew wanted to replace the auto, but Ford made them rebuilt things.
    3 visits later, with me threatening to park it thru the front door & let the lawyers sort it if it wasn't fixed this time they finally relaced all that auto stuff.
    I've got the Gen 2 Raptor with the petrol turbo V6 now which is an awesome truck.
    But I wouldn't want to own it out of warranty, given how much is going on under the bonnet.
    Looking at retiring, so won't be spending 100K on a truck every 3 years, so I'm thinking next move maybe GU Patrol, or something all mechanical without the high-strung drama all this new stuff has.
