If it's meant to be based in the 80's why does it have an XH? The rear bumper on that ute is clearly XH.

I think its the tribute to the ute, not to Ford's ute... and yes.. Ute's are one of the best Aussie inventions so let's not miss the point

It certainly wasn't a Falcon which lent itself as the donor car for the first ute. But it most certainly was a Ford which was the first ute. The credit goes to Louis Bandt, who designed and engineered it in the early 30's.
