Dont know if its true, but if it can cope with 2 tones of spuds, or 8 fat coppers in a Sherpa/Freight Rover, then it'll be more than good enough for the Cob.
The box in my last LDV was still sweet at 190K having coped with 3+tonnes all it's life I think most (if any) ratio difference is in the Diff. The new one has a MT75 though
