From a reliable source it appears the management at Ford Oz have canned the business plan to bring back the F250 and F350 ( F-Series or Super Duty ) models as an 08 model. With no more 7.3s and new emission rules the only option is to go straight to the 6.4 Twin Turbo Powerstroke vehicles.
It is believed that the product management right up to Tom Gorman are grappling with trying to get small products in and had 'zero interest' in expending resources to bring in heavy trucks. This despite the money and wealth at the top end of the market and the resources boom where companies like VDC are getting $140k-plus for the older F250 6.0 vehicles (albeit Harley models). A crying shame and amazing that they don't just use resources like VDC to make this happen like the old days. A 2008 model F350 King Ranch dually has been spotted at VDC so I guess their hold on the market at the ridiculous premium prices will remain. |
