Four Ford Falcon Utes Special Editions (AU)

"Its mix of innovative supercab design, the availability of a choice of powerful yet efficient six-cylinders, V8 or E-Gas engines, and the option of a manual, floor shift automatic or column shift automatic transmission make the Falcon Ute Australia�s ultimate ute.�

The Special Edition Falcon XR6 Cab Chassis, which has a recommended offer price of $32,990*, was revealed earlier this year at the 2006 Melbourne Motor Show where it generated huge amounts of public interest.

�The response to the XR6 Cab Chassis was phenomenal, and public feedback reinforced to us a real desire amongst ute buyers for unique special edition products,� said Mr Winslow.

�We�ve listened to these requests and have delivered an additional three special edition models, each of them designed to give ute buyers more of what they want � sporty car-like styling, added features, comfort and versatility.�

The first of the special editions is the performance oriented Falcon XR Magnet Ute. Based on the Falcon XR Ute range, the Magnet offers more than $3,500** in added extras over and above the standard Falcon XR Ute equivalent.

Enhancements include XR sports leather seats, a Momo sports steering wheel, 18� alloy wheels and unique �Magnet� decals.

The Magnet is available on the XR6, XR6 Turbo and XR8 Ute, and the recommended offer price starts at $34,620* for the Falcon XR6 Magnet. The Falcon XR6 Magnet is also available with Ford�s optional E-Gas dedicated LPG engine.

The second special edition is the Falcon Tradesman Ute, derived from the Falcon XL Cab Chassis.

�Just because it�s a work horse doesn�t mean it can�t look good,� said Mr Winslow.

�Stylish 16� one-tonne rated alloys help give the Tradesman Ute a special appearance, while cruise control is a much appreciated driver assist feature. Unique �Tradesman� decals complete the vehicle.�

The Tradesman Ute will provide commercial users with additional work related specification and versatility, as well as a choice of a Ford factory aluminium tray or $1000 cash towards a tray of their choice. Tradesman Ute has a total of $2,840^ worth of extra value, and comes with a recommended offer price of $27,450*.

The third new special edition in the line-up is the Falcon SE Ute.

Based on the Falcon XL Styleside Box, the Falcon SE Ute includes sporty one tonne rated 16� alloys, air-conditioning, cruise control and distinctive �SE� decals.

In the Barra 190 version, power is supplied by Ford�s 4.0 litre DOHC Dual Independent Variable Cam Timing (DIVCT) 6 cylinder engine, which delivers 190kW of power @5250rpm and 383Nm of torque @2500rpm.

The Falcon SE Ute has a recommended offer price of $27,875* and comes complete with $3,700*** of extra value specification compared with the XL model.

�Falcon Utes are renowned work horses, yet provide a no compromise blend of car-like styling and comfort,� said Mr Winslow.

�They offer a huge amount of functionality and versatility which make them just as popular for commercial and recreational uses alike.�
