Neither. It's pretty clear Ford are gearing towards Ranger/Everest only.

Mustang will be next to go, they will fulfill their current orders and then let it die. Mach E will disappear quietly due to lack of interest, F-150 has been cursed from the get-go and will be dropped due to quality control issues and a lack of trust by potential customers. All three are just too much hassle to source from the US. Then they will ride Transit out, drop it, then blame lack sales when in fact it was a lack of availability.

The Ranger and Everest will then be the sole contenders, quick, easy and highly profitable sales that require no marketing skill or effort. Typical approach from a lazy American company.

Prove me wrong.

If they are smart, like they were with the timing of Territory and Ranger, they will be working on a Tuk Tuk to introduce to Australia to match our GDP per capita figures and appeal to an increasing number of Australians.

You gotta admit they would help solve congestion in our cities.

Aussie Performance, 2035: Just like with Tickford in the 90's, British engineers are already working on these performance cars
