if we do decide to trade in our piece of sh1t falcon, I don't know what we would even begin to look at. we are a family of four, two adults two kids. we live an hour from civilization so needs to be good on open roads, and economical on open roads. we will be getting a large dog early next year so it needs to be a wagon or ute or suv. we live on a farm, and on occasion take the vehicle on farm, but try not too. something that has the option of factory lpg would be a bonus. would prefer our next car to be brand new so it has warrantee's so even if it is a lemon like this one, it will be under warrantee.

Budget! Brand new I guess you have 50k plus to spend.
Factory LPG narrows the field down to falcon only I think, they don't make a wagon anymore.
oooooowwwwww,

this is purely hypothetical, but yes budget would be no more then say $60,000. lpg would be a bonus, but not a necessity, as can get whatever converted if we want to later on.

FG Only has factory LPG in Sedan as they don't make wagon anymore - but they are a very good engine! They actually outperform an XR6.
Otherwise BFII Wagon is the latest you can get with LPG.

Falcon is still the Aussie Taxi cab factory built as a cab special wiring heavy duty seats plastic floor mats upgraded suspension and LPG they still make LPG Fords in fact they have made the LPG motor more grunty than its petrol twin any LPG issues should be left to the dealer or Gas specialist it aint something you should play with

XR6 is a trim package on a stock Falcon 6, it is not now a performance package and yes for once they didnt lower the compression in the taxi motor.
