Falcon utes
Hi Mike, yes that's correct.
It was an XF with push rods until 1993 then the XG started with the the EB overhead cam engine. The XG however still looked similar to the XF which was why I said it was an "updated" XF. The XG was also the first ute to wear the XR6 badge.
It wasn't until 1996 and the XH that the look changed dramatically with the EF front.
Why a ute wasn't produced on the EA platform probably just came down to cost. We are doing a similar thing now with the station wagon. Even though the new FG Falcon sedan and ute came out last year we are still building the older BF3 wagon. History repeats.
