How to properly maintain transmission fluid in a Ford Ranger?

I recently purchased a used Ford Ranger and want to make sure I'm properly maintaining my transmission fluid. What are the recommended intervals for changing the fluid and what type of fluid should I use?

As a long-time Ford Ranger owner, I recommend changing your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles or every 2 years, whichever comes first. Make sure to use a high-quality transmission fluid recommended by Ford.

I've worked on Ford vehicles for years and I always tell my customers to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for transmission fluid changes. In the case of the Ranger, that means every 60,000 miles.

I've found that using a synthetic transmission fluid can greatly improve the performance and longevity of your Ford Ranger's transmission. Just make sure to follow the recommended change intervals.
