Ford FG Falcon Specification and Pricing Update

Alloy wheels now standard on the Falcon XT

Ford Australia has provided an update of the specifications and pricing for the FG Falcon range. Starting with Falcons produced in September, the FG Falcon XT will be fitted with 16-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment.

The new 16-inch alloy wheels replace the 16-inch steel wheels (and plastic covers), fitted to the FG Falcon XT previously.

These particular alloys will look familiar to folks who know their Falcons, having been first introduced for the launch of FG Falcon. The new design five-spoke alloy wheels were previously available as an option on Falcon XT for the recommended retail price of $500.

In line with the introduction of alloy wheels, the recommended retail price of Falcon XT has increased by $300 to $36,790, effective from September 1, 2008.

FG Falcon – option availability update

The current FG Falcon brochure (published April 2008) lists the reverse camera and premium audio system options as being available on G6 from the fourth quarter in 2008. However, Ford has now advised that the development of these features has been completed ahead of schedule, and they are both available to option immediately.

Choosing the reverse camera option on the G6 will cost $500, that price being consistent with other models in the FG Falcon range.

The premium audio system option price on G6 is also as per other models in the FG Falcon range, with a recommended retail price of $1,100.

The premium audio system has a 262-watt total power output and consists of:

• AM/FM radio
• Six-disc, in-dash CD/MP3 player
• Eight speakers
• 150-watt amplifier and sub-woofer
• Seven-inch colour TFT display screen for the Interior Command Centre (ICC)
• Graphic equaliser

FG Falcon Ute – specification and pricing update

Recommended retail pricing for the FG Falcon XR range – XR6 Cab Chassis and Styleside Box, XR6 Turbo Styleside Box and XR8 Styleside Box models – has increased by $500 in conjunction with the introduction of DSC.

New pricing* for FG Falcon Ute XR models is as follows:
