Default Ford Australia Rips Off the Durango

Even so, it's better looking than any of the U.S. Ford SUVs.

Looks to be a lot shorter than the DD. I like those wheels!

They say it's 7 passenger so it's got a 3rd row. Could be a mini 3rd row like the Highlander's though...

Looks can be deceiving, but it deffinitly looks to have improved tire size and ground clearance over the DD and any Ford SUV available here, wonder if it gets the 400 horse ECO boost, if so they have a winner for sure.

Guess it won't last long, since Ford just announced they are closing the Australia facilities.

Yeah, right, if they are all 4'10" tall and weigh maybe 92 pounds. :-)

All, no. But probably the 5 in the back, which is usually the case anyway.
