I've never been left stranded with a Ford. I treat my cars with respect and have have done a lot of K's. Falcons as taxis speaks volumes.It seems that some of the Falcons here get an absolute thrashing, and most maintain reliability( including many modifications).I stepped over to the diesel/import side in 2010.( new Navara). I didn't like it at all, and sold after 14 months ownership.Definitely if you look after your cars they will look after you. Ford's are pretty foreign to me though so I don't know what I'm looking or hearing for.

It can do it but the clutch gets a hard time when pushing to the limits of that weight.I've modded mine and give it a pretty hard time and it hasn't let me down yet. I do however maintain it at shorter intervals than the factory schedule. (I think most people do here) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88988-fg-xr6-turbo-ute/page/2/#findComment-1493238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
