2008 Ford Falcon Ute Video

While our spy photographer is taking a break, rest assured that the general public are not!

Ford Falcon Orion Ute Spy Shots - CarAdvice

The guys over at FordForums recently obtained video footage of two 2008 Ford Falcon Orion utes undergoing public testing in Melbourne. It’s clear that the evaluation utes are fitted with steel trays to disguise design elements of the final product.

If not for the content, the entertainment value alone of the video is worth the watch.

    Is it just me, or did it look like it had full on chrome/black wheels?

    The video got a bit of a laugh out of me. Didn’t seem safe at all though, pull over in front of them in heavy traffic. Crazy stuff.

    Holdens was a dual-cab and not a extra cab

    Holden did do a p/rick of a job, no question there.

    Ford Oz are now the design team for next generation Japper/Mazda ute, i think they can do a great job!

    Agreed, but if Holden couldn’t do a dual cab with proper rear seats, how would Ford do an extra cab with real seats?
    I really can’t wait to see orion naked…

  21. Uncle Eddy Says:

    Did You Know That Holden Does Not Acaully Manufacture There Own Engine. They Pay Nissan For The Engine So They Make More Money By Saving and Making Profit. They Have Use The Nissan Engine For Decades and They Copied The BMW for the VE Commordore.

  26. Aussie Says:

    Good one Ford, we need those type of utes

    (Report)

  27. Me. Says:

    Hey Ford Australia, those trucks in the video should be for a RTV type. You need a ute that does not have a separate tray that gets used for the XR & FPV range and have IRS like the VE ute. But it looks like Holden dont have a separate tray ute to take on this falcon other than the Rodeo.

  28. Duck Says:

    Uncle Eddy,
    Where did you get all that information of that holden use nissan engines! I reckon you are making crap up!

    (Report)

  29. Oz. Says:

    Holden did use Nissan engines for the VK-VL models, but they don’t anymore.

    (Report)

  30. Duck Says:

    Thany You OZ.,
    For more specific information more than uncle Eddy!, because Uncle Eddy said Holden still use Nissan Engines!

    (Report)

  31. Oz. Says:

    He said…”They(Holden)Have Use The Nissan Engine For Decades” that’s total BS, It was only the last I6 engine Holden used which was a nissan motor. After that the V6 was a Buick NOT A NISSAN.

    (Report)

  32. Duck Says:

    Well he did not say it Oz, read what he said!

    (Report)

  33. Wheelnut Says:

    Uncle Eddy said “They Pay Nissan….” to indicate present tense - that is Holden still use Nissan Engines.
    not “They PAID Nissan….” to indicate past tense.

    Holden USED the Nissan Engine and Driveline [Diff etc] for the VK-VL only.. Before that it was the old red motor from the VB-VH the and for the VN-VZ they used the old Buick based V6

    Where as the Alloytech V6 in the current VE is built at the new facility in Melbourne alongside the various 2.0; 2.2; 2.5; 3.0; 3.2 litre 4 and 6 cylinder engines the HEC export to other countries/car companies - mostly GM

  34. Oz. Says:

    Duck, I copy and pasted that from Uncle Eddy’s post. Look up and see it.

  35. Duck Says:

    Yep, your right!
