I am looking at a 2000 4x4 Ford Ranger XLT. A transmission specialist told a friend of mine that the automatics were just too light for the power these trucks have. I would like to hear from anyone who might own a 1998-2001 pickup which has a 4 or 5 speed automatic transmission. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

People with 4.0 engines seem to have more trouble than the 3.0 folks. The manual DOES call for changing the tranny fluid and filter every 30k which hardly anybody probably does. I have 32,000 on mine, no problems yet. Yes, I changed the fluid at 30k.

Thanks for the info!
