Interesting, neither one of those is the Territory's key fob, so maybe the Territory update is getting proximity key after all??

Hey,
Top key worked the Tezza half and the ranger key well worked the ranger half of the car

Haven't checked what key kangu and the other small SUVs have this is larger with two gloss black high lights on the back

It may have been covered before, but what is under the blackened out V section on the front windscreen?
Is it adaptive cruise control?

Hey,

If you look on the rear shot and, above the door button on my interior shot anywhere there is a ford badge stamped on the glass they sprayed it over.

I'm talking bottom of screen here

If we are talking about the big black thing that extends around the rear view mirror, I dare say its the sensor for the rain sensing wipers...

Yes sorry, I mean the blackened out V section around the rear view mirror?
It looks like it comes down lower than on the FG MK2.
Comes down lower to cover something?

Interesting considering it had the SZ Territory rear end - tailgate and all. Did the tailgate actually open, or was it just the outer skin that was Territory and the inner bulkheads and panels something else?

Hey,

Don't know if you've seen it up close but the quality of the welding on it to stretch the Tezza to match the size of Everest was amazing it had all the parts that

Everest mules now have just in the Tezza base

Yes, we are all guessing it is for the automatic rain sensing wipers.

So what you're saying is that it was all Everest under the skin, but the skin/outer panels were Territory.

What I am getting at is the remote prospect that Ford did some engineering on the side and got an electric tailgate into the SZII Territory. Highly unlikely though.

It does, but I think members are sick of a certain person who keeps thinking he has all this inside knowledge and is above and beyond everyone. I basically skip through the thread and only read the stuff from posters in the know mainly bossxr8 and sometimes spyman (his inside pics are fantastic although hit and miss on some info). These the peoples input we appreciate, not this other baboon.

i can't wait for the FZ to be released. At least then, this thread won't need constant moderation.

If i were to guess i'd suggest Ford will do some sort of media release later this month or early August, but that's just guessing. I remember FG was revealed in May 2008 then on sale late in the year.

No FG was released around late March / April and on sale in May.



I was lucky enough to go to the FG launch.



Cant see them doing this with FZ :(
