Default F1 aero tweaks for Ranger

http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mell...25785A001E43A0

Hopefully they do the same thing with FGII to improve economy.

The more I hear about the new Ranger the more it impresses me, it should be the class leader on release.

The design was developed here in Australia, by designers from across the Ford world. The engineering, development, testeing and validation has been done here and also other parts of the world. The team has been to the USA, Europe, the Middle East and Asia for the T6. Australia though has been the lead team for the project.

Check out the Ford Ranger Facebook page for info on the development of the T6:

Do you mean to say the didn't for the FG? I know the BA was a retrograde step compared with the AU aero, but surely this is standard for passenger car development as opposed to what used to be pretty basic utes.
