Actually some of the A4OD parts are made by Toyota as I recall.

To be clear the Jatco automatic and the C4/A4OD are very different
size transmissions even though the parts look similar.
Ken is talking about a 1/2 ton truck which is kind of small by US

standards

so it could have the Jatco. The big 250 HP F250 turbo diesel with probably
close to six or seven hundred foot pounds of torque probably has
the A4OD with the six pinion planet carriers. When I was in Aus
I kept looking for pick up trucks that size and never saw one.
I saw some of 1/2 ton and 1/4 ton pickup trucks.

I did see plenty of 650 HP road train tractors however :)

Here are a couple in Mount Isa.

Paul,
Yep! we don't have the big pick-ups you chaps have in the USA that's why
it's such a problem getting the planetary parts.

I've been through Mt Isa many times, the surrounding development roads only
have enough bitumen for one truck, try getting past one of those suckers on
a motorbike - it can be quite exciting!!
