From what I can gather here at work transmissions are a huge issue as well as electronics. I think mechanically they are ok although I know they had a lot of chassis cracking issues and there was a Ford fix for that. I had a brand new when the new evolution came out I remember Ford came to site and we all did training on the advanced features like auto hill descent etc. My ranger was my own vehicle at work and no one else drove it, it was never driven hard and never off sealed roads and was mostly off the mine site and just around town. At 30,000ks the transmission just completly failed. They ended up swapping out the transmission from a low k's wrecked ranger. The other electrical inspector has that vehicle now and it has done 80,000ks and the transmission is very clunky again and he refuses to drive it any distance incase of failure. Light vehicle workshop has said they wont change out the transmission again and just drive it until it stops as they are all going for auction as soon as they can get replacements.
