fg ford ute Q&A Review
What was your favourite Australian made car you ever owned or drove?
Ford Falcon FG XR6 LPG powered ute. Six cylinder in line 4.0 litre coupled to the four speed auto transmission from the BA&BF Series Falcon. The most annoying problem was the cashier at fuel outlets asking how much petrol I had as well. Dedicated gas. No petrol. Hardly ever believed me. The dedicated LPG engine is fitted with the hardened pistons from the Turbo XR6.
What vehicles were popular when you were younger that would flop today?
In Australia when I was younger, the 2 biggest selling models were the (GM) Holden Kingswood, and the Ford Falcon. Combined, their sales were more than 55% of the total vehicle sales in Australia. Both were full-size family sedans, rear wheel drive, with big inline 6s and V8s. Both platforms spawned station wagons, coupes, long-wheelbase luxury sedans, and commercial vehicles - the coupe-ute, panel-van, and in Holden’s case, the cab-chassis “one tonner.” In 1978 Holden launched the Commodore, that would go on to replace the Kingswood. It too, became a popular seller, sitting at #1 for many months at a time, even in the late 1990s. Both Falcon and Commodore still dominated the market as late as 1996, with close to 1/3 of total sales in AU going to those 2 models. Then they introduced car-like SUVs, and decent 7-seat vans, which slowly but surely eroded into the large car market. Smaller cars had grown dramatically. A 1995 Mitsubishi Magna - a large sedan, was wider than a Holden Commodore at the time. A 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer - considered a small car in the past, was now bigger than that 1985 Magna in every critical dimension. A Corolla of the same era is wider than a Commodore of 20 years earlier. People could now buy smaller cars that were still big enough to seat 4 adults, and all of a sudden we find the Corolla and Mazda 3 battling it out for the # 1 passenger car spot, just 12 years after it was dominated by large sedans. Dual-cab utes also rapidly gained popularity - work vehicle by day, family car on weekends and after hours, and tax loopholes encouraged this. Larger SUVs and “softer” 4WDs were now taking over the market that large sedans & wagons once had. Ford saw this, and developed the Territory - a car like SUV, which was initially very popular, but sales slowed by 2012. Large sedans & wagons were also often bought to tow loads like caravans, horse floats, boats, and even just the common box-trailer owned by many households in the suburbs. Thanks to marketing, people took on this view that you had to own a 4WD, SUV or dual-cab ute to tow anything. The best tow vehicle I’ve ever had (in 30 years of towing loaded car trailers) is the FG series Falcon (2008–2016), and my in-laws have a Holden Caprice that also tows with ease. We arrive at our destination after driving all day, and we’re ready to unload & enjoy ourselves. Others driving utes and truck-like 4WDs complain about aches & pains, and discomfort. I even had one guy tell me I needed an old Toyota Land-Cruiser like his to tow what I was towing, and my “little” Falcon was too gutless. On the way home from that rally I sailed past him, uphill, at 100km/h, whilst he struggled to do 80km/h with plumes of black diesel smoke covering the car he was towing. School carparks in the early 80s were full of Kingswoods, Falcons, and a few Commodores. Many children from my era grew up iin the back of a Kingswood or Falcon, and most have fond memories of road trips away. We also despise the vinyl seats and non-retractable seat belts - the buckles sitting in the hot summer sun would act like a branding iron when you sat in the car. And whoever thought black vinyl was a good colour for the Aussie sun? But we loved them, and they were everywhere. Motor racing was all about Aussie cars. Sure, we had Mazdas, BMWs, and even a Camaro racing, but school kids followed Ford or Holden. Ford lost a generation of fans when they dropped the V8 in 1982, but gained some back in ‘91/92 when they brought it back. School kids were Ford or Holden biased - usually because of what their Dad drove. You couldn’t argue with a one-eyed fan from either make. It spilled over into the local racing scene too, with the 1990s dominated by Ford vs Holden. I cop flack because I like both, and own a Ford as well as several Holdens - all locally produced models. But the writing had been on the wall for large sedans (and their offspring) for some time - the market began moving in the late 90s, and by 2006, the 2 large sedans had less than 1/4 market share combined, and it just kept falling. In the last year that both models were on the market, sales of all locally made Ford & Holden (large sedans + ute + Hoden wagon & Ford Territory SUV) were barely hitting 4% of the total market sales in Australia. So in a 40 year span, they went from 55% to 4%. The only large RWD sedans on the AU market now are the Kia Stinger and Chrysler 300. They sell in miniscule numbers.
