Re: RWD vs AWD
Territory, it's really only the first rwd SUV in Australia, virtually all SUVs in the US are available in rwd or awd (I'm sure you already know this but it's worth pointing out), not to mention the smaller Japanese ones come in fwd or awd.
What Ford has done that is clever is take advantage of their local manufacturer status compared with the other companies where they qualify for lower import duty by meeting certain criteria including drive to all four wheels. So if the other SUVs were imported as 2wd they may in fact cost more than the existing awd because they would have to pay passenger car import duty rates.
Johnydep I would imagine a lot of awd Terri's are bought with one eye on the ski season!
