How to maintain the transmission of a Ford Ranger?

I recently bought a used Ford Ranger and I want to make sure that the transmission is well-maintained for long-term use. What are the best ways to keep the transmission in good condition?

Regularly check the transmission's fluid levels and make sure to have it changed according to the manufacturer's recommended intervals. You can also opt for synthetic transmission fluid for better performance.

Avoid aggressive driving and heavy loads as they can put unnecessary strain on the transmission. Shift gears properly and don't forget to use the parking brake.
