Looks like Ford have done to the Ranger what Mitsubishi did with the Triton, creating the Challenger, Holden/Izuzu with the Colorado7 from the ute.

It will be interesting to check out when it hits our shores in 2015.

I'm also looking forward to checking it out when it is released, especially as the new Pathfinder is going soft

NNNIIICCCEEE piece of machinery, might be time to pass down the supercab to the boy when i finally don't have the need to have a tray vehicle anymore.

Must admit they have done a nicer looking job than the Challenger and the Colorado 7 ....

jclures · « **Reply #6 on:** August 14, 2013, 08:15:06 PM »

I can already see the problem with it, is starts with the blue oval in front.

REAAAAAAAAAAAAAALY 2015?

? thats far too long to wait. lol something better will probably be out by then.
I heard a rumor that both the F-truck and mustang are making a reappearance at the ford dealers sometime this decade?....

I could quite happily drive a ford raptor, snapped chassis and all

They had to replace the Territory with something

Nick74 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 14, 2013, 08:28:28 PM »

Is it just me or does it look pretty much like a Territory with some balls??

Pretty much most generic suvs look similar I think mate

I love the look. I am huge fan of the upspec Ranger's, and if this is the new styling for them they'll get even better looking.

It does seem to lack some room in the rump though, but I reckon it will be handy offroad.

I'm wondering how they are going to fit an extra 2 seats in to make it a seven seater. No luggage space??

KingBilly · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2013, 08:44:57 PM »

Will the Everest be the replacement for the Territory? If based on the Ranger, should be better off road and overall I guess.

I like it, except for the blue oval

bussoboy · « **Reply #15 on:** August 14, 2013, 09:10:04 PM »

yup, i like, but doubt i'ld buy one

as already said no room in the back........... Colorado 7 has none, this wont either

only new car i would look at the moment would be a Y61, (or Y62 or 200 series if i had the $$)

Just read that it's going to be late 2015

BigJules · « **Reply #17 on:** August 14, 2013, 09:54:28 PM »

7 seats, no gear.

This is the Territory replacement, hence the release date or they have to kill the Territory early.

Marschy · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2013, 09:59:01 PM »

Sort of makes you think that Ford had plans for killing off production in Oz for quite a few years doesn't it?

corynmelnkids · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2013, 10:06:29 PM »

Toyota might be bringing the FORTUNER to aussie shores too.
Only a rumour based on the hilux

Yimmy · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2013, 10:09:46 PM »

Hmmm I like it

But I have just ordered a Ranger

That's ok bloody Julia and Kevin played with the FBT rules that much I have gone to a commercial vehicle

Whats with the photo of the territory?

Marschy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2013, 10:16:56 PM »

All the design was done in Australia

FalcOn · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2013, 10:52:55 PM »

I don't think this is the Territory, I think the plan is to have a full SUV line up. This is the Prado, Colorado, Challenger Pathfinder competition. The Territory won't be full 4wd and sit against the Kluger, CX9 etc. They will have smaller ones against the Rav 4...

Problem is, no Falcon

Not all of us can fit the family in a Mustang...

My perfect dream garage consisting of a Disco 5 and a GT won't be around for long.

So like the ranger, the drivers side footwell is smaller than the passenger, the wheel changing gear is only accessible from the road side of the car, but fully designed in Australia.

Sorry, just a couple of gripes I have with mine.
