XR6 Turbo and XR8 models are all reduced by $1,000 and are each upgraded with climate control and premium audio. XR6 Turbos also move up a size to 18-inch alloy wheels.

Gee they couldn't have done this at the beginning of the year when I brought my Turbo, Well now i know how HSV owners feel LOL.

If Ford do make the boss 302 standard i will never buy another FPV / FORD product again... For them to do it htat late in the model and us BFII owners over is certainly a dissapointment...

That is becuase Ford is no longer a leader - they are followers.

It's Cheaper to follow than lead, let the other mob spend the $$ then just do enough to stay in the game.

Look where Toyota came from, They sat there for years and all of a sudden Pow, they are leading and the big 3 are trailing .

Would that be due to load ratings on the tyres,does anyone make an 18' tyre with a load rating high enough for a ute???

And why do you complain about a small increase in power??

What do you think they will do to get these 302kw.. Not much I would say, certainly nothing you could not do to your 290. And if ford do it there is no warranty probs.

Everyone is so worked up over upgrades???? We see it every day people!
A fact of life is when you buy something for yourself you suddenly notice the same thing more often around you. Then you always see an upgraded model at a better price...
