Interesting is that Tesla would've beaten the RAV4 had the boat not failed quarantine and sent back.

I'd be curious about that too. They don't share boats with other manufacturers so only have themselves to blame.

Congrats Ford… Ranger is Fords first #1 since the EF Falcon..
Who would have thought this just a few years ago?

Ranger hit number 1 overall with a massive last month.
When was the last time a Ford was on top for the year? EL Falcon?

Think the V6 has helped that result.

In December, Ford managed to deliver 7,767 Rangers and 1,496 Everest
which shows the importance of shipping space So I wonder if this is a new level for monthly deliveries of back orders or just a one off due to timed shipping deliveries? As mentioned above, had Tesla ship not been infected, December deliveries may have seen the Y leapfrog into third place….maybe a big call? Also, 113 F150s delivered….. https://www.drive.com.au/news/vfacts...rd-ranger-win/ |

But for the first time in Australian automotive history, no traditional 'passenger car' a hatchback, sedan, wagon, coupe or convertible finished in the Top 10 for the year.

Surely checking beforehand or even undertaking some form of precautionary pest fumigation "just in case" is cheaper than having a ship return all the way back to Shanghai and then undergo fumigation. |

If they had delivered all the cars, model Y would've been the third highest selling car in Australia!

Relative works at the docks here in Melbourne, says that Ford has been putting cars in containers which is reducing the amount of dramas with quarantine issues.

Not always. My Mustang was delayed big time due to stink bugs. Car also had a very funky smell when I finally got it

Ford have worked out the right Fumo process With their chartered rollonrolloff ship which is exclusive to Ford and delivers Thai specials to Aus/Nz Ford have also worked out the right Fumo process with cars in containers as Damo mentioned And because of their diligence on Fumo they have the number 1 selling vehicle in Aus for 2023. |

I have said this for years, but a car company with the number one spot comes with a lot of marketing clout. Ford have been there before, so its fantastic they have finally reached for the stars with Ranger and well done to them for making it over the line after years of being almost there.
But please Ford, don't waste this opportunity! It's time for the marketing team to get off their ar.se and work the room! ![]() And worth praising Ford's overall market YTD increase, second only to Tesla from a lower base.

What was the Tesla ship infected with? And why send it back? Surely it could be de-toxxed here?
Edit: if it was something like a Xenomorph, it can go back

While we're at it, bring back Fraser era 60% import tariffs, and get rid of LCT. A man can dream...

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Hahaha! But do they ever nuke it from orbit? No, no they decide to take the marines down there...
Salute to the brave fumigation team

Also of note the Houthis lobbing drones, rockets, short range ballistic missiles and helicopters full of jihadis at ships on one of the world's crucial trade route choke points... and the western navies scrambling to intercept all these. Also of note there's nowhere near the manufacturing capacity (anywhere - east or west) to keep up with the level of artilley rounds being expended I guess we can say we've kept quite a lot of the defence part of our manufacturing capability with the subs, air warfare destroyers, military vehicles etc Fuel storage (real - not imagined) will be crucial for Australia. Get going on your alt_fuel (or electricty!) projects now...

Great news for Ranger but lets be honest here, it took until the last minute to edge out a vehicle thats had next to no investment in a decade.
