Utes only ever got the 200 motor (until T3/Pursuit ute, which got the 250kw stroker). Ute build dates are also different to sedan.

Why didn't the utes ever get the 220 motor?

Didn't answer my question though. If they were chucking them in sedans, then why not utes?

It did answer your question. Ford never built them. As to why? You would need to ask Ford that.

Fair enough. Thought there may have been a common knowledge answer. Thanks anyway!

No, they probably just assume because it's a series 3, it's a 220. It's not. It pays to research what you are buying.
