Is this the same apparent “Ford Insider” that has come out with plenty of dooms day style “inside” reports that so far have been proven false??

Amazing how an ALL NEW model is being judged based on the current OLD model and the NEW courier hasn’t even been released yet…

Guys Having seen the T6 in the flesh now in Bacchus Marsh and Little River It is much bigger then the Hilux. I drive a 2009 Navara and it was higher wider and longer then my truck! Good on Ford USA letting Ford Oz do the engineering and validation work here similar to GM and Holden doing the work on the Camero.

I have to laugh at the comment someone made on the Fiesta Interior I can only guess that he has a never sat in one or driven a Ford EU car? Drive and sit in one then bring your unbiased opinion here! I for one am glad to see the Eu influence on the ‘Jap’ trucks. My only suggestion would be putting Falcon seats in these utes as the current seats on all the ‘Jap’ utes are made for a bloke thats four foot tall!

As the world gets smaller and smaller No one car is guaranteed to live forever including the Falcon and the Commodore! It will be a sad day if either of these products died but in the long term neither is going anywhere both have new model developments underway and this coupled with new engine technology will hopefully keep them going!

On some of the earlier Mule Photos, I was able to do a quick measure up, and it appears the wheel base has increased nearly 200mm to 3200mm and the rear door on the cabin is 100 longer, all of which of course will increase the rear leg room and make the rear seat more comfortable.

As a current (well just superseeded) Ranger owner, I am very interested in the T6 Project. Certainly, increased rear leg room is a high priority for my next truck, but so is extedned range, 3,000kg towing capacity and +1,000kg load. I can handle the bumpy ride but I can’t poor performance. The one thing the Ranger had over the pack had been it’s brilliant engine. But it will need to get a whole lot better, now that the Triton and Navara have just or about to release 140+kw and over 400Nm of torque.

I agree ben if they put 5.0lt v8 in it ill buy two ,just because i will want a back up when i wear the first one out .
Somone needs to make a work truck that applies to people that are passionate about driving . Somthing with some soul not like the tractors on the market now. Plus v8 on gas cheaper to run and service then a diesel

Are you honestly so one-eyed that every product that doesn’t come out of GM is an ugly, low quality POS?

They can axe the Falcon Ute [i drive one] as long as they replace it with a F150 Ute being sold at the same price or LESS

And the Ford Ranger is pretty?

FWIW the Pathfinder is pretty ugly as well, that C pillar is seriously old and poor, and the rest of it is like a brick, and it has a poor engine

Pajero is the best mechanical bet of what’s available at around $50,000, but it’s also ugliness personified. Thing with the Pajero is, there are so many of the ugly things about, they start to look normal

because the Challenger is ugly. I’m leaning towards a Pathfinder atm, but would be keen to see a Ford option IF it eventuates.
