Ford Territory

Mate in my camera course has one, but he does a LOT of klms.. he says its thirsty, but very smooth. Nice thing to passenger in, he has all the bells and whistles in his. Its an Auto as well (do they come in Manual?)

What is a Soft 4wd version?

John, Ford Forums Territory forum may be able to offer more info...

John,

The SMH did a comparison between the Territory, Kluger and Holden Adventra. Gives some good + and - of each on dirt.

Matt.

Good point Truckster - they certainly do not make a " hard 4wd version" - thanks for the replies , do all new members forget to look in archives first ???? I will get it right next time .
Cheers John

Nice car but it goes beserk whenever it sees a petrol station. Logic - Why buy a Territory with all the fruit for say $50,000 and get 17-18 L 100K when you can have a 4x4 which will do the same?
I just cannot fathom it.

I drive one for work and get roughly 16-18/100, Just just got 4 stars on the safety rating. There is a couple problems I have found, the first one is the plastic mouldings are softand mark easily these are in the cargo area so they do get scuffed up fairly quickly, the second is the traction control/stability feature which sometimes causes the brake pedal to shudder (this takes some getting use to). Overall they are not a bad car.
This is only my opinion and for the record I own a LC100 and love it.

A mate towed a lightly loaded box trailer from Melb to Syd and back with a AWD Ghia Territory and it used a lot more than 17-18l/100k more like mid 20's/100 and the trip computer regularly went up around 30 odd on hilly sections.

On the Pajero Forum someone who owns the 3.8 pajero and the Territory finds that the bigger Pajero uses LESS fuel.
