While only a fraction of Toyota sales, (like every other manufacturer) very encouraging for the blue oval.
Ranger PX3 4x4 just keeps selling.. Only about 30 units behind the new Hilux is extraordinary imo..Really shows how good the Ranger is and it’s building a great reputation in this country as the best Dual cab 4x4 and with a much improved PX4 coming next year, expect the Ranger to keep powering on for the foreseeable future... Probably the best numbers we’ve seen for Everest also and encouraging numbers also for the new Escape.. Mustang, despite what some might like to believe, just keeps ticking along... Number 1 sports car under 80k in this country pretty much since it was introduced 5-6 years ago.. Overall, taking Toyota out of the equation, very encouraging result for Ford and it’s dealers...

Everest just keeps improving. It’s been building every year since it was released. The all new one is going to push it even further. It took Ranger years to catch Hilux. I reckon another 3 or 4 years and it will start getting close to Prado. They are really pushing the new one style wise. More US large SUV style.

Looks like the supposed hatred of the Hilux has diminished and the sheeple have flocked back.
No1 outright and 4x4 for November. |

Is it just Covid or is one model making up 64% of total sales a long term trend for Ford AU? I'd be worried about that in the best of times to be honest.

Price sells.. 7 year warranty. They must have confidence in their cars. Cheapest Ford is $30k.

If the difference in price was a few thousand then I would go one of the majors, but when we’re talking tens of thousands of dollars they have to be considered. |

![]() There's a bloke getting around in a LDV T60 every morning here locally, he's usually on the receiving end of an overtake because he drives 20 under the speed limit on the highway. I don't mind the look of them, the new GWM one is going to be interesting. I think I'd go for the Chinese Special over the Thailand Special, they are on point for value. |

No of course not but if you are buying something only because it is cheaper initially, surely you need to consider it. You may end up paying more in the long run for the cheaper option.

So what was behind the dramatic increase in Ford’s combined SUV sales?
Endura, Everest, Escape and Puma all combined for a healthy jump.... Buyers liked what they saw and could afford to buy what they wanted. Maybe a few more of those plain speaking ads and see what happens. Last edited by jpd80; 05-12-2020 at 11:25 AM. |

The key to these isnt longevity, its about getting into a new ute at an affordable price, then flip it for another in a few years. |

it could be as simple as stock arriving and being sold as soon as it arrives. Fingers crossed they back it up in December. |
