Default Territory wins Best SUV OVER $40,000 .....

Awards for the FORD line up continue with Drive.COM giving the nod to the Territory beating some high end opposition in the over 40k category. Especially for Drive.com!

Hey Big Damo, what kind of police car did it replace? Just curious on the types of sales the TD Territory gets.

Well done Ford, let's hope this great news gives them incentive to try more
new and interesting things with their products and really test the market...

Diesel Territory is a winner
EoLPi Falcon is a winner

Will Ecoboost Falcon be a winner by increasing Falcon sales through conquest purchases?
there has be plenty of buyers out there interested in big cars provided the price and economy is right...

I like the way Ford is now value adding to the Falcon and Territory range but it also
shows that Ford is finally "getting" the new generation buyers who want complete vehicles
and improving the base XT and TS respectively is a great way to get FoA's products out there..
