Super TestCar reviews - Ford - F-Series - F250 XLT Crew Cab utilityFord modelsThe Car6 Jun 2002 FORD F-Series is a long-standing model with many changes made to the vehicle over the years. A decade of change has escaped the Australian market since Ford stopped importing vehicles in 1992, with various privately imported models filling the void. Hence when looking at the 2002 F-Series, you tend to think you are looking at an entirely new vehicle that has moved ahead in styling in one tremendous leap. Ford claims the Australian release F-Series was built from the ground up as a right-hand drive and offers a "bumper to bumper" three-year/100,000km warranty - although there are some odd cabin ergonomics and it misses features such as a glovebox, which is offered on US models. Sharing styling with its US counterpart, the F-Series trademark is an enormous chrome grille on a blunt front end that rises to just under the armpit of an average sized person, and a wide cabin requiring a step up to reach the driver's seat. A raised central bonnet section and flared metal guards give the vehicle a strong, determined look - and its sheer size and presence is imposing on the road. Did you know?Ford has chosen to only import the F250 and F350 models into Australia, leaving F150 imports open to various private importers. Ford claims the F150 is too close in specification and target market to the locally built Falcon one-tonne utilityAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
