Meshdawg, auto or manual?

No jules, these are not FH models, they are FG MkII

My new ute finally arrived and picked up Tuesday. Can't get the smile off my face.

Thanks Danimal, appreciate the feedback. Wiil push for best deal when I get closer to delivery date.

Latest update as at 4/6: Early July build for end of July delivery. No free 3yr servicing or RSA, but they will 'look after me' .

You might want to quizz them a little harder for delivery date. I called around a few other dealers and got same feedback - earliest delivery would be August so no point me starting with new order elsewhere, they all come from same factory. They also saying, while new shape is expected to be last quarter of 2014, realistic deliveries would be March / April 2015. At this point am happy to sit tight and wait, not that I have a choice if I want new. I ordered 'Vanish' with luxury pack. What area did you purchase in Training Wheels? I am Sydney (Hawkesbury)

Unfortunately had a call from dealership today explaining they cannot supply my order as originally indicated (by June 30) reason given was parts shortage blah blah for builds of complete FG range & Territory. All indications are for an August / Sept delivery 'maybe' . Also withdrew my agreed trade in valuation which I can understand I guess. I'm pretty black and white on this kind of stuff. I've always been of the opinion that Ford are failing because people don't buy the product. Now thinking, dont or can't. 5 years ago when I placed deposit for the XRT I have now, dealer couldn't supply the vehicle with specs I was after (colour) so gave my deposit back for me to shop elsewhere. How hard is it honestly. Just scratch my head honestly.

Moved house and now on small acreage, I need a ute now. Got a deal I was happy with so bit the bullet and just did it.

Yeah my order isn't for the final model, it's for current FGII. Might also ad, dealers saying pricing will be higher for last model than current. Have wanted a ute for ages now. Can't wait.

Chatting to a couple of dealers and feedback has been new shape will be released October but real expectations of deliveries to purchasers would be closer to Feb 2015. I have placed an order for for current model with luxury pack in Vanish colour with a 6-8 week wait. Hanging out for my new ute.

Apologies if this topic has been raised previously. Does anyone know if the the next (last) shape Falcon will carry over to the ute? I'm looking at upgrading this year from my sedan to a ute, but don't want to buy yet if the new shape is about to hit the showrooms.

I've had my transmission serviced and re-tuned by Autotech Engineering in Sydney. I've not experienced a more professional and customer focused service provider in my life. These guys not only know their stuff but are dedicated to their work in every way. Spiro kept me posted every step of the way, he asked my approval for the most minor job before proceeding and explained the process and reason for what he was recommending. Check out their web site and testimonials, they're spot on. So in a nutshell, transmission is performing better than new and box didn't have to be rebuilt.

Replaced under warranty by who? Mod's void warranty. Mine is out of warranty anyway. is an 09 Model with 70,000 k on it.

Where are they at?
