The Americans build their own Transits using different engines and gearboxes to the UK, so presumably the Canadian ones are American built.

What about the back axil? Are their rear diffs same as British or are they their own. And on the subject of diffs are the English transit diffs also used on any other ford vehicle. Ranger for instance?
