LOL…Ranger & Everest is the hill Ford Australia will die on and if they are ever stopped,
Ford will probably pull out of Australia completely, rather than compete with anything else.

1. Not enough to matter

2. Ford stopped building all Mach E last month at Cuautitlan
we are way down the peck order, UK will get RHD Mach Es before we do.
I doubt that Ford gives a flying’ F… about emissions beyond the Ranger PHEV
that’s already developed and ready to go whenever required…

Off topic,
It never ceases to amaze me how much money people will pay for dual cab Rangers and Everest
Back in Falcon Days, it was hard to get more than a handful of buyers to pay those prices for FPVs

So,
Just imagine if Ford AUS had developed single and dual cab Territory Utes by using Falcon Ute half chassis.
I bet that more than one engineer mentioned it to the brass but yeah, T6 was developed with Australia in mind…
