Default Aussie Ford Question

I was just looking to see if anyone could clear soemthing up for me. I just saw for Aussie Ford UTE's, and I really want one bad. I was wondering if anyone would know if I could goto a Ford dealer here in the States and possibly be able to order one to be shipped over here? Thanks.

I wanted to see if anyone knew if a ford dealer in the states would be able to import it. I don't think the regs wouldbe a problem since there are very few if any here.

The utes are nice. My g/f's bro is after an XR6 turbo at the moment once he has shifted his two piles of mazda crap

I would be surprised if they were able to get into the states due to fuel/emissions (remember speaking to someone at STI Subaru about the new 2.5 engine in regard to that) and also being right hand drive. I know you guys have trouble with R34 skylines which I think is down in part to that as well. In short I dont think you could import it however I can give you some ford dealership numbers here to ring if you want.

Something like this?:



Turbo-charged, intercooled, twin overhead cam 4-litre engine, the F6 Tornado unleashes 550Nm of torque. The 18" pewter accent alloy wheels are standard or there's the option of 19" Dark Argent alloy wheels. Your choice of 6 speed close ratio manual or optional ZF 6 speed high torque automatic. FPV cross drilled front Brembo brakes and Traction Control are standard. The F6 Tornado also features an FPV soft tonneau cover and the option of an alloy Sports Bar. Also available is an optional hard tonneau with FPV 3 pillar rear spoiler or combination hard tonneau and Sports Bar. The F6 grille design proudly displays the purposeful turbo intercooler, while the F6 Tornado supercab features contoured F6 Sports seats and an interior command centre featuring TFT screen, Prestige 6 stack CD system, plus FPV sports gauges for turbo boost and oil pressure. Optional is a Premium sound system and dual zone climate control with large TFT colour screen.

Very nice cars the F6 Utes and Sedans.
So common over here and especially in Australia
Bit of a shame for you chaps in the U.K and USA though
