Thread: Ford territory TDV6

The engine is the same although ancillaries may be different

Is it more ... reliable... ?



- Or cheaper as a new/crate than LR ?

Absolutely. In the same way that the Heinz Baked Beans I buy from Coles taste different to the Heinz Baked Beans I buy from Woolies.

I'm sure there was a thread on here where someone priced it up. Can't find it with a quick search, but remember it bring $12k versus $9k or something like that.

And they were to be found just at the end of the biscuit aisle.

I recall reading that LR reworked some areas of the original version such as the front crankshaft seal and sump to make it better handle off-road use and angles but don't know if Ford Aust used the LR version or not. I had been told that the LR ancilliaries were used to minimise the Territory's R&D costs but don't know how accurate that info is. Ford Aust fitted a fuse in the alternator B+ circuit but that's only wiring.

I recall something about the oil pickup being different as well?

on a slight side note, apparently the guys at TRS in Adelaide have figured out how to fit a 3.0 ltr with a single turbo to replace a 2.7ltr. About 15-16k drive away but they have only done one at this stage. Just a curious point.
