I prefer the Mad Max variety.

When did the Falcon become a Ford Contour with a pickup bed?

On second thought, at least it hasn't swelled to a ridiculous size like the stuff GM trys and fails at.

Ugly as shit! is that a STI front end on it?

Old school Ford Ranchero with the front that looks like old shool Falcon was cooler.

Even had shock tower braces to stiffen up for better handling.

That's the Australian version of a utility vehicle or what we call a pick-up truck. Here's a different version of the Falcon with a flat bed.

Small tool boxes in the back.

Someone drifting a Falcon on a race track.

They aren't selling them anymore in Australia. They've axed it. But here's a dealership photo where they have factory-painted caps.

It's called a Ranchero and it was sold here once upon a time. They make for both a shitty car and a shitty pickup all at the same time.

You've seen it, you've heard it, and you are still asking questions?!

GM makes one, the Holden Ute. There is a company in the US that converts them to LHD, called Left Hand Utes. Wish I had a use for one, instead have a Chevy SS.

I've always been kind of a Ford guy (not sure how that happened, but that's how it keeps working out), but if I was to somehow get my hands on a ute, it'd be a Holden.

It really seems to have worked out that way. What's the other end of the scale? A suburban? The good parts of a truck and the good part of a car?

Old school Falcon was the best Falcon. My first car was a 1969 Falcon. I worked PT at an autobody shop. I prepped it and they painted it (for the cost of the paint) Ford Mustang Grabber Blue.
I modded the fake hood scoop to actually function, stacked two air filters, slapped on a Thrust muffler (snick) and went honing around.

El Camino was a Chevy. Ford's version was the Ranchero. Subaru's version was the Brat.

I always thought the Avalanche was the best of both car and truck... I own an SUV and like it, but I always run into height restrictions.

Ugly, looks like a 1983 Dodge Rampage.

How well did those sell.......

I would buy one if it was available in the states. I have the geandaddy awaiting overhaul in my barn.

I was just figuring on popularity. Suburbans, Excursions, Expeditions, Sequoias, are all pretty popular compared to just the one convertible offering and the now non-existent car with a bed.

It's everything I didn't want in a car combined with what I also don't want in a truck.

Yeah. The interiors have gotten car like. But they still have a body on frame, solid rear axle, sometimes a solid front axle, real 4wd, etc etc.

So yeah,not really just a big car with a bed.

These Ute things I'm assuming are unibody, independent rear suspension, lightweight cars with beds.

Looks like an old Ford Probe got buttf**ed by a pickup truck...gross.

They should at least call it the Ford Ranchero since that is what it is a modern incarnation of.

Just like the redone T-bird, they seem to have informed their styling by looking in a 60 year old womans purse.
