To be fair to the local FoMoCo team I would bet they would love the petrol hybrid Explorer or the F-150 to be available to sell here however you cannot supply what isn't offered.

Do people think this will be a better attempt than Toyota's FJ Cruiser that came out about 5 years ago? Retro looking design have maybe lost some of its coolness. VW just killed off its retro beetle.
I did a web search for images or renderings. There are a lot of sketches with round headlights looking a bit like an Escort Mk2, then there are a lot of sketches looking more like a Ranger Raptor, just shorter. Which one do you think it will be? |

Not wanting to sound to blah , but tbh I'm becoming less interested in Fords new model announcements unless it says "coming to Australia"

tied up resources and eng services doing what it sees as "work creation". I shudder to think how Ford US would have developed T6 Ranger........ Such a shame that Ford doesn't get the idea of boutique RHD products maybe something that could be done by a close subcontractor? Last edited by jpd80; 18-09-2019 at 01:54 PM. |
