That particular fault in the Ranger gearbox is definitely a manufacturing defect,
they either fail early or not at all.

$25k buys a lot of gearboxes..

I don't know any vehicle buyer that would rationalize a saving that way,
most people would consider that lower price as a sign to sell the vehicle
earlier and take the win, yeah?
Eight years time, what's the value on a $35k Triton, $8K-10K?
Are you going to put, $6K, $7K, $8K into it or just write it off?
and so it goes for second hand buyers, if it costs say $18K to buy and then,
suffers a big expense, they gotta think hard what their next move will be..
