Hey guys,
The dealer launch for the new range has been happening in my area for the last couple of days... Here are some shots.... Then I went back - at night - and they were all getting washed.... So I got a GREAT look inside... actually got to is inside and play with the new 8" touch screen audio system - very impressive... Anyone interested in a little more 'info'??

Where is this? It looks like some old haunted house in the middle of nowhere.

Forward facing camera? It's ginormous..... Lukeyson

Wretched :I may be able to scan the whole document - though it is 43 pages.... not sure what 'trouble' the release of this confidential document will cause though... might await some advice from the mods on this one...
Just to give you little of the info you've requested. 8.2.1 - Technology 'Boasting an advanced engine and a range of new innovative features, the very clever Territory is now smarter than ever' Power & Torque outputs. 4.0lt Petrol = 195kw @ 6000rpm / 391Nm @ 3250rpm 2.7lt Diesel = 140kw @ 4000rpm / 440nm @ 1900-2500rpm Towing Capacities are 750kg unbraked trailer, 2300kg for braked trailer on petrol, and a massive 2700kg braked trailer on the AWD diesel. The SZ Territory now has EPAS (Electric Power Assisted Steering), 6speed auto, and advanced suspension systems - meaning improved driver comfort and control. With the Auto Trans - Petrol gets the ZF 6speed (which is awesome) and the diesel gets the new 6R80 auto - which is new to ford. 10. Vehicle Personalisation Similar to what you can get on previous models: Side Steps, Cargo Barrier, Futuris In Car Entertainment System (flush fit to headrests), Roof Racks, Bonnet Protector, Mudguards, Weathersheilds, Waterproof seatcovers, just to name a few... Gman - Correct it is Rupertswood Mansion in Sunbury. Ford also hosted something last night at 'Living Legends' horse stables across the road from the Airport...

I had my car serviced at South Side today. They had a new Tezza YFF 203 red a TS TDCI. It was idling in the workshop. I was impressed as to how quiet it is for a diesel!! I could hardly tell it was a diesel engine until I saw the TDCI badge. I agree the ,the ICC screen is HUGE!!! Ford marketting, please don't stuff!!!

Loving the front, Cannot for the life of me deal with the *** on it..
Shocking looking rear. Those tail lights just do not gel with the angular modern front, and the 2002 doors and roof. Maybe I'm just p!!ssed that its saturday night I'm i'm nursing a broken ankle while all my friends play outside with alcohol.. Meh, i'll just pop some more of these cool painkillers |

Oh no.. is that those 10 year old R5 Ute Concept-come-BA falcon inner door handles I see? Ford used to be the king of reskins with its ED to EF update, I don't recall seeing one visible EA part in the EF. Holden on the other hand.. with 1997 VT door handles in the 2005 VZ. Front end is tops.. but with the taillights, why couldnt they come up with something like this?? |

On its own, yeah you might be half correct, its not hideous, but there's no way in hell that it meshes with the 2004 era doors, or the modern angular (and handsome) front. Not big on it at all. |

I think it all comes together. I'm still not too sure about the side profile with the pinched nose.
