cheaper to continue with the XG/XH then have to engineer a different chassis i'd imagine.
There are a few E-series convert utes, but they're pretty rare.

yeah that looks sik, I dunno why they continued with the ancient XF style front it looked horrible. I wouldn't mind an EA 3.9 5 speed ute, that would be nuts, my dogs would love it too.

That GT one looks awesome!
I'm understanding of Ford's need to put its effort into the EA sedan/wagon in the late '80s rather than fancy utes. But when we talk about Falcon engines, they bothered building the 3.2 CFI, 3.9 CFI, 3.9 MPI and 4.1 carby all alongside each other (the MPI alone would have been just fine). It is one of those Ford Logic™ things that my brain is too small to comprehend. |

I've seen that pic of the EL before, and it looks great, far better than the XH. As for the EB GT ute. I love it! It looks tough as, and I want one!
