Well at least they are finally coming and RMA doing the RHD conversion.
Long time relationship makes sense mind you wish Prodrive got the tender old links wise but not to be.
Sales will be ok I suspect being RAM/Silverado doing their numbers but whoa its alot of coin here for a pickup typically but then look at LC300 pricing let alone 200 before etc.....
I wouldn't mind one but damn they are big moving around surburbia 90% of my travels.

100% Maurie. The size is my only issue, and growers would think I am earning too much money. I would have preferred the V8 but I think if Ford can keep hammering the engine characteristics, they may have a win there.

A Raptor isn't all that discrete either, lol. Those QLD Growers will be fine mate as long as she's not too clean haha. Anyone that knows you will know your humility is as genuine as it gets.

On a more serious note, I think the F-150 says working mans, man, or women as much as anything, but they are huge.

Too big for metro Melbourne, unless it was a dedicated trade work vehicle that went from home to site and back its totally impractical for shopping centres etc..

yer thats my take, I'd love it but its just too damn big, 90% my use is the burbs and city CBD at times, parking ffs nightmare.
Those under cover carparks, the bloody hilux having the 2" lift with roof racks, bang the aircon old ducks, turning circles in the F150 omg.

Lol good point with the Raptor. If I end up getting it will be taking all of the Raptor stickers of it. I actually like the look of it without them. With a bullbar, aerial, and spotties might be able to sneak it past growers until they look in the interior. :highly_amused:

I've seen a few down here stickerless and they look great. Much better I reckon. Personally, Id probably leave the or keep the Raptor badge on the tailgate.

I thought the same when I went from the Mustang to the Wildtrax but then found the Ranger quite easy to maneuver and park for its size. The F-150 is larger again and I don't know anything about its maneuvering ability to in tight spaces. Metro Melbourne is also much more congested than Adelaide.

As Colville would know comparing our cities, Adelaide is a cakewalk compared to CBD Sydney/Melb for parking and we have farfar more smaller lanes let alone narrow streets where/if cars parked both sides your mirrors can scrap if your not a good driver, a RAM or 150 I'm talking about being in.
Current Thai dual cabs manageable at this stage.
