They're the best selling vehicle in Australia, there'd be a huge outcry if the engines were no good.
Current Rangers have EGR and DPF, what extra emission gear do US spec Transits have?
As far as I know they're the same setup. Come to think of it we had 3, a '15, '16, and '17, forgot about the new one. The '15 and '16 had metal shavings go throughout the system from the fuel pump, which both had new fuel systems replaced under warranty. But after that they were never the same and would go through sensors, a DEF tank heater, and some other nick-knack issues. Would always be real interesting to have the engine go in degrade issues driving through the mountains... The '17 hadn't had issues yet before I left.
