Maybe Ford Australia should copy their parent company ?

Editor's Pick: 2007 F-150It's not often that an automaker springs for financing as well as a cash rebate for a vehicle, but that's precisely what Ford is doing to promote sales of its 2007 F-150 full-size trucks. You can get both low-rate financing (including zero percent financing for 36 months) and a cash-back bonus set at $2,007, to drive home the idea of a model-year clearance sale. The incentives are valid until the end of August.

Some of the F-150s early accolades were the result of the emphasis that Ford put on creature comforts. The cab offers a comfort level rivaling many full-sized cars with easy-to-reach controls, ample storage and attractive optional interior trim levels. The F-150's suspension is tuned for a smooth ride, so it represents an easy transition from the world of cars to trucks. Yet it can tow 10,500 pounds and carry a payload of 3,050 pounds. Tire pressure monitoring is a standard safety feature for 2007.
