Not happy, I am waiting for the triple turbo twelve speed.
And that is just the reverse gearing.
I had one on my Motobecan Super Mirage, worked beautifully
Ahh, the all new 1.2 L coming 2025!
Or the 12 turbo 3 speed
It's a Cubed Turbo
My last Ford folly was a 96 fairlane. They threw me under the bus a and Ford have missed on $400000 of sales since. Never another Ford.
I see there is a current Engine oil pump recall on the 2lt biturbo on the interweb at the moment. Labelled "22b07 Recall & Ford CRC Number. Checking oil pressure and possible metal contamination. If metal contamination, then requires engine replacement." You might be able to confirm this John.
I have had 2 10 speed rangers did over 50k miles in the first one no gearbox trouble at all. Had auto hiluxs and navaras before and the ranger is by far the nicest drive 🤷♂️
My ranger has no issues. 10 speed running perfect.
my 2018 GT Mustang has the 10 speed auto. The first third to fourth gear cold change is a tiny bit clunky, but after that I haven’t had any issues, but then again I have only done 19,000 kms so far.
my almost 500,000 klm hiace diesel didn't use a drop of oil
i used to warm my car up before setting off, but now just drive away immediately in winter. it takes ages to defrost the windscreen when just idling but with driving away the car starts defrosting it as soon as i get to the top of the street. its probably the difference in engine load helping heat the coolant faster.
Yeah warming up is best achieved by driving gently as John put it.
Thank for the ad mate I just purchased a mini Drever just because that’s my last name 👍 any who I also have a bi turbo with 10 speed, drove like poop until I had it re tuned and now it shifts perfect converter locks up in manual mode like it should
The cold shift issue has a bulletin in the US. A PCM update if no codes. Otherwise it’s a valve body repair.
When I was a boy, the Holden V8 came with a mighty 2 speed auto
The bullet proof powerglige , fast an slow , that good these were drag cars still fit them behind todays engines
Wow! How much did the engine rev while at 55mph or higher?
@@MrSamPhoenix not a lot really. The Powerglide used the torque converter to its maximum in order the ensure the engine wasn’t revving its head off at highway speeds.
The legendary 307 HK PowerSlide!👌
Ahh the days when you could drive just as fast in reverse as you could in 1st.
My 5 speed DMax shifted fairly hard when cold and smoothed out when it warmed up. My current 6 speed seems to shift the same cold or hot but it does shift early when cold.
Probably programmed into it, to prevent high rpms with a cold engine.
The apostrophe patrol approves your stand on this matter of Pajeros or even Pajeos. Good stuff, John.
Awesome invisible arrows =)
Jesus John!!! I don’t have the stamina for three in one night anymore 😢 ;)
Thanks for all the free entertainment and excellent knowledge you provide to us mate.
👍😊
The 10sd has been an issue for years, in the UK a few guys are able to remap the boxes and make them smoother, the next big issue with the 2.0L is the wet belts failing.
Either way I'll stick with my 3.2 6sd manual for as long as I can.
Just a thought. is the gearbox holding gear when cold so the dpf and cat warm up quickly?
I've heard a story of a HSV owner who constantly complained of oil consumption starting with the VE GTS, they looked after him on a trade in for a VF GTS, where they complained about oil consumption (under 15,000km) and GM replaced his car with a S2 GTS, the car went to Holden and was used as a pool car, no oil consumption, but said owner got new HSVs pretty often cheap!
4:13 HSVs*
I doubt it holden was so nice lol. Someone is pulling your leg.
Sounds like a cool "story" 😏
I owned a clubsport with a diff knock (like someone was trying to escape from the boot. Not likely unless zombies are real) and the service manager told me, in front of customers, "It's normal now f### off"
@@jasoncee666 cool story but needs more dragons
This 10sp is a great transmission. Referring to it as a ‘lemon’ is taking a subset of examples and tainting a huge amount across a large range of cars.
Success, ‘I love my 10sp Ranger / Everest’ stories here don’t get the RUclips clicks I’m sure.
Keep cutting the tall poppies down John, it’ll make the competition look less crap.
So the 2020 recall for the 10sp transmission here in Australia was made up yeah? The class action law suit in America is just a hoax right? The service bulletins sent to dealers by Ford itself were actually just fabrications by RUclips stars looking for attention in your world? If you have a 10sp Everest/ Ranger that you like and hasn't given you any issues, sincerely good for you.. that doesn't make this very large "subset of examples" any less real. Please, can we all stop being fanboys of car manufacturers? They aren't our friends, they don't care about your loyalty and not one of them will make "good" cars forever.
Id argue Ford does a fantastic job of making the competition look less crap by themselves
You hit the nail on the head. I want to like John but whilst he bemoans the tactics of the motor industry, he knows there's no clicks in a moderation and realistic critic of said issues.
@@alexfrankl7861
I'd argue that both Everest and Ranger won local car of the year awards. You and little pygmy Johnny can pair up in your Tritons and feel all inadequate together.

Yes but $350 to sit on my glovebox. I don't think so.
@@frankguernier2280 oh it doesn't just sit in my glovebox. I use it a lot.
5:24 "...they just did it for the bragging rights..."
Good point! I agree.
Warm up auto oil, it's cooler runs through radiator run for 5 min in morning , works for me,
I hope my Lexus 10 speed will work ok. I'm totally in agreeance that ten speeds is at least two too many.
10R80 and 6R80 need regular oil changes like every 40K . And dont use anything but Mercon LV oil in them - like no Penrite or Castrol substitutes
Penrite substitute ATF BMV Mercon LV
@@danielgreen8712 don't say I didn't warn you
Penrite and castrol both have mercon LV spec oil.
Mercon LV is a specification not a brand of oil.
Castrol mercon LV is actually factory ford certified and what is recomended also for the previous gen Mazda bt50.
@@marcusbarnes5929 you've been warned.
@@oldbloke100motocraft mercon LV is Castrol mercon LV is the specified oil by factory ford for the ford ranger and Everest.
MERCON LV is not a brand of oil it is an oil specification. 🤯
If the oil meets the Mercon LV it is specified to be used where noted.
"No apostrophes for plurals" - thumbs up John
I don't know why car companies just don't use the zf 8 speed torque converter. Great gear box.
The best on the market
Agree... It sure delivers in my Cannon X.
Generally speaking today’s vehicles are fantastic, try driving a 302 XB Fairlane, the emissions era disaster takes 15 minutes to run well enough to drive , when started cold
I've owned my 2016 3.2, 6 speed Ranger Wildtrak for 3 years ,Ford has had it in to do the good will gesture rust treatment on the chassis, Ford loaned me a 21 plate 10 speed 2.0 biturbo, I drove this for 9 weeks and all I could feel was the gears constantly going up and down and seemed to be struggling to know what gear it wants to be in ,very jerky ride ,all I can say and even my wife said when I got my 3.2 6 speed auto back is ,what a big difference, much smother and no jurking, I was glad to hand that 21 plate back and have my 16 plate back and the 21 plate also had lots of rust on the chassis and it's only Done 12k miles
2019 ranger raptor 120k on clock, no issues no rust, 10sp auto is light years ahead of old 6sp, yes trans has been serviced, 2.0l biturbo shits all over old 3.2 by a long margin
@@danielgreen8712 have you driven the 3.2 for a long therm, well if that's the case the loan truck I had must of been nackered as even my wife who was a passenger on a 2.5 hour drive could feel it jerking ,on flat long roads it's fine but as soon as you get into hilly windy roads it was fighting to know what speed it wanted to get into ,like others say 10 speed box's are only there to say l"ook at me"
@@crazycressy7986 had 3.2 for 2yrs I travel through winding road 50/50, the raptor loves it 120k on clock now, sport mode in town or winding roads makes big difference, yes changing gears alot I don't even notice anymore
@@danielgreen8712 yes love sports mode and I put a throttle controller on for a bit of fun ,shocked you don't have any rust on your 19 plate ,my my has a 20 plate raptor and all his welds are starting to rust ford put the wrong paint on them ,keep an eye out bud ,don't know where your from but ford in the uk a doing a free treatment on the chassis, full strip down to the chassis shot blasting it and primed then 2 coating of their so called military grade paint ,also all my socks and springs replaced, half a exhaust pipe and both propshafts and bash plates done ,and once returned and I am happy they give you a free full ford service
@@crazycressy7986 here in OZ, DP chipped & throttle controller no issues
10 speed.. Maybe im a Luddite.. But that sounds like its inching on the overly complicated side of things
6 is plenty for me. IN fact in my opinion the 6 speed transmissions are excellent and more then sufficient.
gday mate is there any difference between that lemon 2.0L 10 speed. and the 10 speed in my new August 23 raptor.
great videos. 👍
Good advice Auto Expert. Feeling inferior as my Cherokee only has 9 speeds in its gearbox as opposed to the big 10 at Ford. Shift quality in the Cherokee is ok but pales in comparison to a Porsche PDK dual clutch. Its been said that the Cherokee's ZF gearbox is mechanically quite good but is let down somewhat by the software controlling the whole AI. At any rate I wholly agree that 8, 9 and 10 speeds are largely irrelevant for Australia Driving conditions. The Boxster's 7 speed PDK seems to operate just fine on 7. Having owned two Fords I'd comment, yes drive them like you stole them and whatever you do dispose of them at no later than 6 years or 120,000km. The do have a tendency to break things randomly and frequently after this time.
Pfft - Dual Clutches are so 2021
What you need is 7 Clutches

Prado 4 speed auto 90 series Diesel did the same thing. Held gears a bit longer when cold. It's basically so it can warm up quicker. Ecu may have limited throttle too as she was a bit of a slug when cold (fractionally better when hot). Prado 150, 5 speed A750 Diesel tends to not be as noticeable, i think it still holds the gears a bit, but overall the engine is noiser when cold, that may be what I noticed & thought that was higher revs on drive off when it just the noise of a cold engine.
I got a Kzn165r hilux same engine and gear definitely less power when warming up
Our everest has started to do this when it's hot (15 km or so driving) for example pulling up at a gate, open said gate, get back in car and doesn't go for 30-45 seconds , and its been doing it from cold since 30000km and it is now at 45000km , I don't see this as an operational characteristic
Check out "Custom Car Coding". They retune remap the ford ranger/ Everest/mustang 6 speed 10speed transmission TCM to fix the terrible shift points and stop the hunting and flaring.
My mechanic recomends to change transmission oil and filter every 50,000km if towing and every 100,000km if not towing. .
Replacing the trans thermostat with an aftermarket valve that lets the oil flow 100% of the time stops the over heating dramatically. Adding a transmission cooler up front also works very well.
The 6 and 10 speed transmissions are good for 800rwhp some people pushing 1000rwhp through them with out troubles.
Supercharged mustangs go very well.
I don't know how FORD got the shift points so wrong?
My old Lexus is200 would hold gears when cold, I think my wife's Mazda3 does too. It's kinda just bring picky really.
It does that to warm up the engine quicker.
@@MrSamPhoenix I know, more that it's not new to happen for cars, lighting up the cat etc
I've never understood why these big companies over engineer mechanical components. What happened to solid and basic transmissions/engines. I would prefer a solid 5/6 speed automatic rather than a infinitely shifting gearbox waiting to end its own life from being overworked. I know technology has come a long way but like you stated the engines these days also have good power, great torque output throughout the rev range. Seems like they just do what they please with left overs and cross their fingers it works to save costs...
I grew up with "the two speed power-glide" automatic transmission, I've got a four speed auto in my F-350 I believe, and it definitely shifts better warmed up, but that's maybe a mile up the road, out of my driveway. As a lifelong mechanic, I'd say we'd all be better off with simpler, less parts needed by these incredible ratio numbers. I hope the "industry" can catch their sanity back soon.
I did get my new Ranger about 6 weeks ago. They must have changed something major in the torque converter and programming because it is like a different transmission over all - smooth and near seamless shifts even when cold. The PX3 Ranger feels like a tractor directly compared - at least to me...
See if you say the same after 12 months
@@DJTrumpMAGA I actually believe I will still be happy - according to Ford the Transmission received a new Torque Converter and a new pump. Thes 2 Items seem to be the culprits in most of the failures. I am looking forward to more Kms to be added to the almost 8000 I have done so far...
I actually have driven one of the “next gen” ( not sure you have) but it’s brilliant in comparison to my Pajero.. yes the box takes a bit of getting used of but once you do, it’s great…
Pajero is better in almost every department
lol good luck to you
2 speed torque flight was the way to go
Wasn't it a Powerglide (Holden)? I thought Chrysler's Torqueflite was a 3 speed and about the smoothest on the road in OZ back in the 60-70s. But my grey cells ain't what they used to be.
Yes it was , Chrysler auto is the Torque Flight 904 behind 318 , 727 all the rest 360 to 440 2speed was Holden .
I'm 5 minutes or so into the latest 4wd247 ute test.
Feels like the Trilux is going to do well. Again.
Ford vehicles are like inbreed children. You just don’t know what your in for.
😂 The knives, lethal! 🤣
My nephew has one and he to has had issues with it, something about the spiral gears.
It is the auto correct I have the issue with the apostrophe all the time.
Not to many easy fixes now... $200k considered "affordable"

Hi John, as always a great show and total entertainment. As an aerospace engineer I love your explinations and yes I have just got myself a 2020 ranger but as you say 10 speed fkn really that's just wank factor. Even with the full gvm you don't need all that twitching cogery going on downstairs and twin fufu pumps overinflating said poor little 2l donk! Jesus if ya want power buy a bigger vehicle or one with a larger capacity engine. Still, I'm happy with the Wildtrak 6sp auto 3.2TD does what it says on the box and not bad for a Ford that is Fix Or Repair Daily! Or Found On Rubish Dumps as I heard today haha ( by another ranger owner who has ordered the new gen ) anyway keep up the good work cheers Filthy.🤠👍
Its starting to remind me of mountain bikes that keep adding gears. I grew up with a 10 speed bike and could go 100 miles a day. Kids these days have 24 speed mountain bikes and the kids can't ride to school.
We've just had a fatality on the roads up here. A police chase was involved. I do a mild bit of searching about these events, lo and behold, I come across an article in Drive from 29/03/2010 written by one John Cadogan.
10 speed new Ranger 3l won 4wd 24/7 Ute of the year, despite concerns about potential longevity - go figure.
@@nobodyclose8972 with the lack of the nissan patrol and 70 series utes not in the testing pool it was a failure of a test
as a all rounder ford made the snuff cut for on road use and towing..
Though fail longevity tests on unsealed unmaintained roads mo likely pointless
all the other were a failure point due to 17-18 inch wheels which bares fruit with 4x4 equivalent radial tires might be okay on farm land, clay or gravel roads or a worksite as a tradies vehicle..
what is typically good traction control wet tarnac has bugger all use case true offroad portions of australian roads..
to me it looks like they did the test on someone's farm not in a real world offroad condition following the suit the TFL morons have been doing of late in their test...
That's cause the awards are rigged
everytime a new model is released it wins the shootouts, haven't you noticed that yet??? it was also getting caught up everywhere on the track because of the long wheelbase. It's also interesting that the channel is called 4wd 24/7 yet the car that won was one of the worst offroad haha
Who judged that?
@@nobodyclose8972 the ranger out sells the hi-lux in 4x4 sales, its the 4x2 that tops the hi lux sales.
The only argument for warming the car up is to turn the heater on to get ice off the windows today. It’s the only reason I warm my engine up before I go.
Constantly impressed with the extent of you knowledge, i guess it’s down to your scrutiny of research and attention to the mimsickel of detail, cheers John just love learning.
Just to enlighten you I found the actual reprograming procedure for the 10 speed transmission, it has an electronic module which honestly could be better, aside from that the module requires a tedious process done 6 times. The reason for this is the module has a limited band width concerning engine power and torque. Carrying out this processes apparently tunes the transmission to work correctly with the engine. I have not done this or needed to but a work mate had a dyno tune and as he called it a minor ecu remap and was really crap on gear changes, after he carried out this procedure his car changes better than it had before his tune up. You may have heard of the fairytale of the 10 speed being a learning system well that is just BS.
I think I will stick with my 2018 2.2 and six-speed manual
It may have 500nm but the rev range is pretty narrow.
Should have used a ZF gearbox. Bulletproof
I am still trying to fathom a 2 liter 4 cylinder engine connected to a 10 speed automatic transmission. Seems to me a 6 speed would be sufficient and 10 speeds used for large V8 engines.
quite the opposite actually. small engines have narrow powerbands so having a 10 speed allows the engine to stay in that powerband no matter the road speed or load. this means better fuel consumption and a smootger ride as the engine isn't trying so hard whereas a big engine has a massive spread of torque so the engine is never really working that hard and you can get away with less gears
@@tcmx712 Never knew that. Thanks for explaining it. It just seemed to me a small engine trying to run a large transmission.
@@garfieldsmith332 In theory that does make sense but from what I understand (and this is going off f-150 forums) is that the new 10 speed is actually the same size and somehow weighs less than the old 6 speed and this is causing a bit of worry for long term owners as to whether it will actually last but I guess time will tell!!!!
"Unfuck" -When one... I'm hoping for a revision in Oxford one day...maybe in three years😜
Ford Ranger, Next Gen 22, 18mths old, purchase new. BiTurbo, 10 spd, 30000kms, completely stock, no towing, no 4x4. Issue - arose at about 29000km mark. Pre that absolutely perfect, smooth, quiet. Since then at gear change, under load, constant speed - e.g 20kph, 50kph, 100kph, etc - a 'vibration/noise' has comes into play. Been in dealer, replaced engine mounts, softened the noise a bit, but is still there. The 'transmission been reset' and told to drive to 'train' it. Been there done that. Same issue. Ford now say this is deliberate that the revs are too low for the gear - trying to maintain the best economy - to me this bs. I dont know how to approach this. Any ideas
rock a sense
The now previous gen Ranga auto shifted like pulling a sack of eels up a staircase. Abysmal. I hold little hope for improvement with the new one.
All effort is into the EV's. These are parts bin economical to make specials
I read alot of complaints but have no issues with my 21 ranger with 10speed now have 90thousand Kay's and it's still a joy to drive... I do half the service interval and changed the 10speed oil at 70kays even though ford say sealed for life I hope it gives me another 90k of trouble free driving then il move it on.... here's hoping
Our choice of utes in Australia seem to be pretty shit
Hi John need advice on my Ford Ranger Wildtrak Biturbo has done 22,600kms and just been told by the ford Dealer it needs a new engine, and it may take well over a month to get a new engine, very disappointed. Kind Regards Peter.
What happened to the engine?
@@marcusbarnes5929 the oil pump broke in pieces thus bits of metal was in the oil, it’s the second time had engine issues first time it developed a oil leak,

Thanks for the reply yes they replaced my motor.@@nguyenvinhha75
John, as usual you're spot on. I mean for fucks sake my Nissan Sunnys gearshift isn't butter smooth when it's cold. And it's a manual!
Here in Sydney I have noticed on many occasions how guys, not women hop into their Rangers cold and drive them as if they were bullet proof. Now days if not months go by and we have the same scenario where they take off like the wind in a hurricane but this time the engine doesn't sound so good and the transmission doesn't change that well, no knowing a little about cars opened my eyes a lot when I read about "testing Australia wide" in all conditions, had to laugh a little here is as when you see a 4wd driven through a creek we never see the back up crew ready to fix the breakdown of that vehicle, this I know as they "the car companies" never send out one vehicle on it's own to be tested. When people go out to buy a new vehicle they never ask for evidence of how durable that vehicle is, all they ever ask is the trade value on their vehicle and how much they'll pay. I used to sell cars and trucks in the 90's and it was hard, luckily I did my homework and made sure I knew what I was selling, I can't say the same these days.
Is this the ten speed auto tranny originally designed as a joint venture with GM, but dropped by the latter as too crappy even for GM?
Hi johno my coment might not be all that relevant, l have a petrol v6 hilux running LPG and petrol its travelled 480k no oil usage whatsoever auto is as smooth as the day it was built. I could afford to replace the car but i just could not stand being tied up in the dealer network and all the bullshit that goes with it,im free ,might not look as flash but for 65bucks i can travel almost 400 km on gas with minimal noxious gases at the tail pipe. New car is not for me very happy with the one i have it in my mind this vehicle is carbon neutral ,almost... Thanks for your honest, no bullshit approach, philo
Reminds me of the Powershit saga a few yrs back..... How did that end? Class action with payouts?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm only here to brush up on my English.
UNlike the 10 speed in the LC300,whch is by all reports brilliant.So far no issues.
So what’s the answer for everyone who purchased one of these lemons to tow their van. Sell it to someone unfortunately person. Surely keeping the transmission cooler with an aftermarket kit must help.
How is it that ZF figured out how to make a “many-speed” transmission behave perfectly. Yet companies like ford cannot. About the only two transmissions I’m impressed with other than ZF’s 8-speed are Honda’s CVT & new 10-Speed autos.
the ford 6R80 6sp auto is a direct copy of the ZF, FORD bought the right's for it.
change the valvebody
I prefer the shift of my 1995 auto corolla when the trans is cold, its too soft when it is warm.
it does suffer from torque converter drain back no big deal though let it run 5 seconds before shifting and it is ready to go.
I'm curious does this also apply to the mustang with same 10spd auto or is purely down to the ranger and Everest?
Wild guess - It's the same tranny. Not economical to make a unique one for a Mustang given the lower sales volume.
You don't need 10 speeds on a 4x4 it's not practical
@@blake9358 8 speed transmissions are used because the motor has a narrower power band for fuel efficiency. Offroad logging trucks use 18 speed boxes.
@@grahamcampbell9261 Again I disagree.
Overdrive is 6th gear, and that is for optimal fuel economy. Spreading ratios further does not necessarily give you better fuel economy, it's for marketing hype!. I've driven trucks with a roadranger gearbox, trucks are not cars they carry heavy loads more ratios are necessary because of this so they have an extra overall ratio or split gears
@@blake9358 It is the exact same concept as a truck. Keeping the engine in the optimal rev range for torque, fuel economy and emissions. If they could use a 2 speed, they would - it would be cheaper. More gears costs more money to build - It's the racing stripes that are marketing because they are cheap.
Yeah i agree with the oil consumption bit...
my colorado used to use about a litre of oil every 5,000 or so. but now it's 165k it doesn't use any oil, but fuel consumption has increased *ever so slightly* down to about 800km to a tank from 900km to a tank.
but that's also highway driving. as i said, its tiny
Ohh for the simplicity of the 60’s, a big V8 backed up by a two speed Powerglide tranny. Hmmm maybe a bit too simple but a ten speed auto? The bloody thing would be constantly shifting ratios.
John could please give me a 5 day warning when Olight have their SALES .... .geez missed it by that much chief, AGAIN !
7 or 8 is all you need? That’s way too much, from a driving experience, 4 is enough if you have enough torque and if it’s a torque converter box. Sure the fuel consumption is probably lower if you have more gears, but even that isn’t guaranteed, it will depend on your driving style and where you drive.
I guess smaller cars with weaker engines are better off with 5 or 6 gears, but more than 6 is just stupid.
That's what it's all about - more from smaller engines, emissions, fuel economy.
A 10 speed transmission. Is that only required if you have a gaping hole in torque delivery?
Had one 10speed replaced under warranty, then the second one started playing up again.. went to Ford AU with lemon law and got a new 3.2 6 speed and haven't had a problem since
Buy any automatic and expect problems. Manuals forever!
You are not wrong. Autos define the short lifetime of the modern car
Oh please. Manuals fail too. Clutches, gearboxes etc all have issues. Far more variables too because if the ‘computer’ behind the wheel decides to Ride the clutch a bit, you’re cooked.
@@whomcares3438 I've been driving 43 years, I've had both manuals and autos. Ive never blown a manual, though I burned a clutch or two as a hoon teenager. Every Auto I've owned has failed even though I've been light footed with them.
@@whomcares3438 Rather Replace a clutch than deal the TCM acting like a two year old kid. Beside I can do a clutch job or overhaul the manual transmission it in my driveway
@@whomcares3438 youve got to be kidding me. You can rebuild a manual at home. An auto No Way. The stupid transmission is half the cost of the car. Do your homework please

That's why my bicycle has 21 gears. I have insufficient torque, with a very narrow power band.
Went from a 4 sp to a 6. Van.
Hate it. Wen ur crusin at 100 and you having a convo with a mate, speed drops to 96 so you speed up and the stupid box downshifts wen you try to get back to 100.
Same thing crusing at 80kph.
You have to feather it lighlty so you dont downshift so you sit there watching traffic passing u. Cant imagine wat 10 is like.
And yet my $33k GWM Cannon is still running faultlessly after 2 years. Such a shame I didn’t spent $60k on a Ute that spends months back with the dealer.
Mine too love it the " mad experiment" is well worth it
I'm surprised that didn't aim for "ours goes to 11", at least that has some cultural credibility. 🎸
I'll wait till hidrogen/ electric Utes appear.
Won't happen. Can't produce enough torque per $ spent on 'Fuel' compared to diesel. EV utes weigh 6 tonnes to get the range and still struggle with range when towing.
Gee....what was wrong with a six speed. 😎
You don't need more than 6 gears ever!
Twice before buying a new car in Melbourne i was ignored by your representatives. This is fact
any more than 5 gears is just transmission pawn!
The Dingo Piss Creekers are going to spew.
"Even Fords."
Hahaha!
Quiet word from the uk mate. Those olight ads getting a bit old. And intrusive. Apart from that love the content, shame my uptick dont pay the bills
Imagine going from having 8 Pajeo’s to a Ranger and thinking it’s going to be a good thing 😂😂
I look at the Tourneo and think "Nice, want one" then remember the 4x Ford threw me under the bus (One illegally) and go "Nah"
Yup really need 10 speeds, just like the old bikes 🚴. When will government mandates stop and not become more restrictive just because?
All engines consume some oil if they didn’t your compression rings fail.
Generated comments say “I’m Julia Logan”. Always a source of mirth
that's what happens when you mount semi transmission into what is a sedans motor and the shit ton of problems it causes when you don't have a 40 foot semi trailer on back..
should stuck with the 7 speed auto/man transmission, sounds marketing trying to be in the cool kids class again trying to use the f650/f750 transmission into and engine and diff package it was never designed for in the 1stplace
I've been a Ford man for years, starting to think it not in my best interest to continue. Looking at Kia for next car.
I quit Ford 20 years ago after they threw me under the bus 4 times. Never buy another. Koreans are the best these days. Costs in Japan went up too high and Korea took over
