Ford Falcon Pickup

Not the new Lightning but, it could be the replacement.

Ford Australia - New Falcon XR8 Ute

The Aussies have had a great choice of vehicles for the past 8-10 years. Ford needs to wake up and import them to North America if they won't make a decent truck here.

I agree 100000000 %. I bet they are scared since GMs attempt hasnt done a whole lot. But I know I would be first in line for 5.4 DOHC Falcon. I'd go put a deposit on one yesterday if they said they would import it in the fall. Actually I dont know if I'd buy a v8 or turbo 6!

Holy crap! That is KILLER! With the 5.4, 6-spd you are talkin fun,fun,fun!

Ford doesn't need to try an develop another Lightning, they just need to look across the water and bring it home! I'd get one today!

Did I mention that I like it? A lot?

Did you notice what it says at the bottom right in Lightning Strike

GM is going to import the Holden version of a ute in '09 to be sold as a Ponitac.

And i've heard of talk that Ford mentioned bringing the Falcon here, so maybe they'd bring the Ute version too.

just remember guys its not a truck its a [ute],hasn,t got a true chassis like an f150,an arguement my son and i often has,he always has the last word tho,he,s got an easy 350 hp at the back wheels in his xr8 ute,so racing him is out,my poor old girl just sees his tail dissapear.Have heard a rumour ford oz are viewing the idea in responce to holdens move.Dont think ford are doing you guys wrong either us ford fans look over to you and drool over ya mustangs and the new trucks loaded down with all the optional goodies.

I saw the Pontiac at the NYC Car show. It looked OK.
They said it will be introduced in Fall of 09.
