the i been seeing the new ford suv more and more on the roads, is it going to replace all the land rovers eventually? i hope my ict will have this ford suv, so i will volunteer to be driver! it looks comfortable to sleep in (compared to 5-tonner, on the ground and in rover)

Rednano SG

Heard from a Ford insider that they are having difficulty supplying the vehicles to SAF cos production in US stopped.

Damn nice to ride on.....well, like all new-new things.

kajagugu SG

wah, air-con!!

couldn't SAF sign contract with Ford for them to specifically manufacture to our numbers?

eemtij SG

Sure, they signed with Ford agent in Singapore.

But Ford HQ decided to stop production of money losing vehicles and one of those chopped is the SUV SAF selected. Problems with parts later also.

kajagugu SG

icic, hope that it doesn't turn out to be a bad business move..

Ford Everests are not US-made. They are Philippines made, IIRC.

Was at regent sending my car for servicing, spoke to the SA and jokingly say this year bonus will be good cos SAF bought so many Ford Everest. Then he told me that SAF is going to sue Regent for not delivering on schedule. Then he said production may have stopped.

That's how I got to know.

Ford Everests are not US-made. They are Philippines made, IIRC.

They could also be made in Thailand, I think. In any case, you are right, they are definitely not from US.

eurofighter SG

I think it was mentioned in the papers that our Everests are from Thai production lines.

SAF like to buy cheap stuff. Can save money one they will go for it for sure!
