Not if there's zero interest in the disruption of building RHD versions for a small remote market,
it may be better to cede that to a local conversion outfit and maybe the same for a special Ranger.
If the engine bay is reconfigured for a V engine then maybe an engine swap is half way home...

Actually by factory support I meant Ford US providing a local converter here cars at "wholesale dealership" rate rather then having to source from a US /Canada dealership and paying a retail level discount.

They've shown zero interest in doing that and actually blocked discounts to local converters.

Why did Ford US block it if they show no interest in importing officially or did Ford Oz block it?

Ford Aus but in fairness though maybe there's more to the story than Ford just being mean.
Maybe importers were trying to game the discount system and pocket savings for themselves.
Like, they'd never do that.......

All the more reason to get involved themselves....and throw a few Lincoln Aviators in there.. I'll have mine with Ecoboost/hybrid....
