Choose Territory Replacment

This will be the case with the Edge also.

I have also test driven the Jeep which externally is bigger, but internally lacks space.

I can only see Explorer as a worthy replacement. although we will get the Edge

I cant see Everest selling well.. Its competitors are Colorado 7 Isuzu MUX Prado and Pajero.
Its not a Territory replacement, is a more robust 4WD

Why choose a replacement when it's not finished yet? Wait till the last one rolls off the production line! I'll be buying one, still deciding between diesel and petrol. Are they doing a facelift, interior upgrades?

If the SZII update:

• Fixes the lag
• Has proximity key entry; and
• Front parking sensors

Highly likely we'll update to that one. Means I will have to take out my new battery isolator and re-do a whole bunch of things like HD towbar, caravan power circuit, airbags etc but it is worth it for a long-term keeper.

They may not sell a 1000 a month but there should be decent demand for it. I see quite a few Pathfinders, Colorado 7s and Challengers out on the road.

Yep a face lift is coming before it's laid to rest but don't expect much. It'll be far less impressive than the FG2 -> FH facelift.

Seriously, you have to spend 100k more to get a comparable vehicle on road as Territory.

And you could buy a new Territory out of the first week depreciation on said 100k+ competitors....

Nobody should underestimate what a package it is now, let alone when it first hit the market nearly ten years ago and really did make everything else in its category look totally completely stupid. As I said earlier in this post, from a worldwide perspective in a particular category of vehicle, nothing ever built in Australia really did lead the market so comprehensively at such a comparatively budget price as Territory. It is not only the most impressive thing done by Ford in this country, it is the most impressive thing done by any car manufacturer in this country, ever.

I agree wholeheartedly hence the new one in my driveway.
Makes my duel cab ute feel stone age and noisy in comparison (diesel vs diesel).
As for the road dynamics they're not even in the same league with one being a 4wd. The Territory would be one of the best value for money packages available in the market today. The comfort is second to none in my opinion.

Here's hoping the Yanks have something that comes close for our market.
