I last year I went to Australia and stopped at some Ford dealers. I could not beleive my eyes I saw a F-350 Crew Cab 4X2 XLT for $84,000 without a bed. Here's the site for Ford in Aussie land.

thats insane,,,,must be the shipping costs included in the price,,,,I hope.

The shipping doesn't really hurt but the conversion does. remeber they drive on the other side of the road.
Remember when we saw a BMW 745IL for $180,000 and you could of buy it hear for $80,000 ??? ??? And cuz wanted to buy a Lightning but he figured it would cost less but too much hassle! :P
f- that price thats crazy
remember that Australia's money is half of what ours is worth so thats not far off if taht price is in Australian.
it's not that much of a diffrence. rember you dont have a bed.
83k is 62k here.
its not as bad as you think. its almost $64k USD
84 650 Australian dollars = 63 834.565 U.S. dollars -- GOOGLE ROX! (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&q=84650+Australian+Dollars+to+USD&btnG=Search)

That's still alot. Remeber you have to put a flat bed or bed on the truck and that's $2,000+ And the Gas in Australia is $3.75 a gallon.

When I was in Cozumel this summer I saw these things and I thought they were crazy looking.

They also have the 4Door Rangers.
Yea those Falcons are awsome but I like the XR8 the best. Check out the site and look for pickups they look similar to an El Camino. This guy bought one and it was wicked fast. All I know it went from 0-100kph in 4.5 sec. I think their called Falcon Cammodor.

I have a couple of good friends in Aussy country that call me when their Powerstroke have problems. even arranged for shipping less expensive parts over there. I thought the Dealership marke up was bad, WOW
It's such a diffrence in price, everything is much more expensive.
Went downunder in the early 90's. Loved the exchange rate we got for US currency. The women there were pretty awesome too, they knew how to treat a sailor right.
LOL...That's true.

yep! took the words right out of my mouth!
currenty, if you went to Australia with $1.33 USD they would give you $.75 Australia dollars...... so that outs that truck roughly the same as the US version..
