We have D-Max's in Australia, this whole country is like one big proving ground, either shit falls to bits quick or keeps running indefinitely.

Ford has the Ranger over here which is different to the US ranger, all I've heard from that crowd is sending their vehicles back to the dealership over and over to get things fixed, plus they are thirsty as fuck.
