2008 Ford Falcon XR8 Ute
If you get your kicks from Australian utilities rather than their sedan counterparts, new-generation time can be just that bit frustrating.
But not with the just launched FG Falcon. Unlike its predecessors, which only spawned utility versions many months after the sedan, a new Falcon ute is on sale now.
The ute brings most of the FG advancements, including fresh exterior and cabin styling, new front suspension and steering, revised powerplants and other innovations.
Out the back, though, the Ford retains its leaf-spring suspension and workhorse pretensions, distancing itself from Holden's multi-link suspended Commodore ute. CityLink adopts a similar view, putting the Falcon ute in the more expensive commercial vehicle category, unlike the Holden ute.
