1995 Ford Falcon Outback XG ute

Australian Ford ute promotional video from 1995:
"Outback in the Outback: the Falcon Longreach Outback Ute.
When a two wheel drive Falcon Longreach ute came twelfth overall in last year's Australian Safari, a lot of people thought, 'I'd like one of those."
Well now they can have one.
The Longreach Outback ute is based on the class winning vehicle that covered the 6,240km between Sydney and Darwin.
'Outback in the outback' proves that you don't need four wheel drive every time you drive off the tarmac.
The Longreach Outback isn't intended to replace four wheel drives; some people will always need one. But this film convincingly shows the Outback's abilities. And they may well be exactly what you need.
Have you driven a Ford... Lately?"

@Damian Johnny Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

A great forunner to the RTV a decade later. Nice video.

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

I don't think I've ever seen one of these in the wild. I'm guessing they're almost collectible by now (I know I'd like one!).

[@forevernow9459]

They are rare, but not expensive. Not many people want them as much as the rtv.

[@phillipcox516]

Right when they say you don't need a 4x4, most people with 4x4's never need to use them in their day to day running. AUS

[@forevernow9459]

While I do agree, it is handy in certain situations. In the bush alone, ide rather have 4wd than not. But the outback was a little ripper of a ute.

Geezus that Driller's a huge bloke!

How I miss FORD AUSTRALIA

[@ufo-bro532]

Thanks mate I love my aussie Utes

[@rileysmith9843]

I saw one while on vacation in Puerto Rico. It was pretty cool.

[@saxongreen78]

The 1995, 1979 Ford Ute!

[@ytenterprises7681]

Bloody Awesome ute

[@australianmade2659]

I dropped a eaton trutrac in my fg pov pac falcon ute. It's pretty damn good on gravel.

[@13mustang420hp]

nice video mate. My dad has an xg outback and i have a xg s pack 5 spd

[@hogsndogsaustralia6652]

I’m doing mine up now 🔥💪

[@MrPokemonranger]

Ute Uncle Barry!

[@rileysmith9843]

I felt Ford wasted an opportunity while developing the CD6/S550 platforms to develop a true replacement for the Falcon/Falcon Ute. The Explorer could have been the next Territory. The Ranger just is not a true Falcon Ute replacement. The Mach E Mustang will not be a true Territory replacement if it ever comes to Australia. The Mach E is not even a real Mustang. It’s just a crossover with the Mustang badge.

[@davidw1152]

Well Australia you fucked up again. We will never have the chance to buy these great cars again. I notice Chinese made cars are at records sales in Australia,we only have ourselfs to blame that these are no more.

[@NoBody-ht1oh]

Until you try and open the door

[@sw33tr1de4]

My 07 by is the same thing but with a twin cam if it ain't broke dont fix it

[@fredfungalspore]

We had these utes in our local council long reach and the limited diff high clearance versions my off sider was 6 feet 4 the cab space was terrible with centre console we use to tow a dual axle tandem trailer with a John Deere ride on mower our area was on the flats and hills on a hot day with air conditioning on the engine would cook it's guts it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding going up hills the temperature gauge would go off the the clock with both thermo fans howling their heads off ..the transmission had a oil cooler that was a joke too small . lastly we would do a about a 120 ks perday towing it would chew more petrol than a bull could piss they were absolute rubbish ...I now own a Au series 2 Ute and a fg xr6 Barra the best two utes Ford ever made lots still on the road and on country roads as for the models on this ad. You never see them at all ...

[@jamesfrench7299]

The XG got the same 147kw 4.0 OHC power plant as the rest of the line up and it was commercial in nature, before they were seen as a lifestyle vehicle. Ford just wasn't prepared to develop a ute variant of the E series as they probably didn't see enough growth potential to make it worthwhile and the old shape was still holding out and still had superior load capacity to the then yo to date looking Commodore ute range. Buyers were probable satisfied with their practical side at the time. The EF alike nose was a clever life extension. It fooled me for a while.

[@walkabout1094]

Put over 400 000 on my 95 Ute should have retired to the shed but sold it😕

[@paulsz6194]

I wonder if Ford revised & improved I;the rubber door seals and window seals, since the red dirt in the outback is much finer in size..

[@sonicaids]

I wish the XH had the XF front instead of the ugly EF front.

[@urabusliberty9258]

Why not just swap the panels

[@sonicaids]

@@urabusliberty9258 its a different chassis

[@howtofixyourtech9945]

Yep not the nicest design by Ford

[@jamesfrench7299]

The XF front wasn't exactly a sight to behold itself.

[@randomdude4669]

Put an xr6 front on it

[@bobross8234]

Very nice i have a xe ute

[@cjaysoulgroove4065]

Should've made the sinbins with xr6 option wicked

[@hamishfullerton7309]

Proves Australia's obsession with hilux was not necessary sometimes, ironically as the falcon ute got better ,hilux got more popular and less durable and with Thai free trade deal Ford made there work horse the ranger, which is a shame in a way ,because falcon always had superior power, comfort and handling.Ford could have easily made a 4x4 duel falcon if they wanted

[@greyhairedphantom4038]

I want one!! lol

[@jamesdrury4381]

If only they had a diesel option.

[@wmcapriceforum]

Yes, I remember when Ford finally put a diesel in the Territory (2011?), they were surprised when it was immensely popular. Surely any Tom, Dick and Harry could have told them that this could have been offered years earlier.

[@hamishfullerton7309]

Dirty diesel, not always superior option, back then slow and sooty,I don't see how that v6 land rover diesel territory was that much better, than the new 4.0ltr in territory , just as smooth , cheaper to buy and not much more thirsty, Australians got a bee in their bonnet about diesel to the detriment of our car industry and Thailand's gain, the Nissan patrol proves , petrol power can do everything a diesel can do without complexity of the pollution gear necessary to eradicate diesel soot

[@johnthompson9440]

XY Ute was the best

[@noelgibson5956]

By 1995, buyers were getting tired of this shape, and wanted it updated to then current Falcon sedan appearance and specs. But it got worse before it got better......Ford imposed the hideous XH on us! I had an XE in a sedan with a 3-3 manual four spd.....slower than a fully laden Kenworth off the line. I traded it for a TP Magna sedan. It was a better car in every way. I no longer own cars, as I just don't need to where I live. I just hire if I feel the need for a getaway.

[@noelgibson5956]

They were as useless as hell. Too low, cargo area too small, and just two driven wheels. The ones that were near the coast rusted quicker than a length of reinforcing rod.

[@jamesfrench7299]

You'd hate a Commodore ute. They couldn't even take a pallet. The Ford could. Anyway, Ford offered a one tonner later on.

[@noelgibson5956]

@@jamesfrench7299 Table tops are far more practical imo.

[@randomdude4669]

What 4wd has a bigger bed? They have no room in the back
