you are 100% right both thos models would have sold extremely well back then if they had been sold internationally! its ashame really as australia had so much to give to the car market
Dude! I tried to buy one of these 6 months ago but just missed the boat- they are a bit out of my price range now. Bought a Turbo Terry Ghia instead for 9k and am flashing the F6X tune into it. Same power, just missing the badges and brembos!
@@jamesfrench7299 maybe not double- it's done 230k km so that will bring the value down a bit. But yes, certainly worth a bit more than 9k- and I'm the 2nd owner, have all the purchase papers, service history, pre delivery report etc
@@andynogo the longer you hold it the more it will increase in value.. 230km is nothing for a barra.. as long as you maintain the body thats the biggest thing
@@andynogo retrofit the Brembos and it will come close. I think it would be money well spent as long as it's not prohibitive. Being able to stop the thing is pretty important.
You were definitely on the ball about this car been a pioneer of performance SUV's and also right about if they had the barra 310 then the sales would be better. Such a cool car never the less and i really like that colour, shame we no longer get FPV's alone. Great review once again mr Ross :)
The F6X was the family car for me growing up! Seven seater, black with gold stripes. This was always a treat to take down to the coast for holidays, although looking back I’m sure the fuel economy wasn’t the best.
Top notch review of this curiosity and well done finding an owner kind enough to give you the reigns. It's really a limited market who would want a hefty turbo barra model for bussing the schoolkids around in. Makes for a very unique and rare model though.
Glad you enjoyed it.. yes its a hard sell for some, but for others its probably a happy medium with still having a turbo barra and a SUV for the family.. very cool and very unique
I tested a Turbo Ghia and was very, very impressed. Unfortunately I couldn’t locate a F6X in a decent colour at the time like the Ego/Black option. Ended up with a manual F6310 but when ever I see these turbo teri’s I won’t forget the test drive!
@@RossReviewsau mate - for about 2 months I had white boards at home with pros and cons. Sadly the turbo Teri’s didn’t have optimal daily perks like hands free and iPod. Either way, glad I got into something before the prices went crazy. Your BF has probably doubled in price from when you bought it 😃
Ever seen the ST version of the Territory ??? Was available only in South Africa 😜💪 it's essentially Ghia turbo AWD with the upgraded trim. Not many around, not many people know about them. It still a sleeper with 7 of us in it and and the roof box on top. 245kw AWD Barra Turbo is an assuming schizophrenic SUV. So tame in town driving but animal on the open road.
One of these was on my wish list for awhile, they are plenty cool.. if only they sold enough to carry over to the SZ series, just imagine 310 killawasps and AWD.. perfect family wagon
I had the ttg. The reason the 310 never went ahead was due to emissions. Territory was rejected. I enquired to Ford Australia at the time and that's the answer I got. Ttg 0-100 stock was 6.6secs. Miss the car...😔😔
I wish the states had the FPV type vehicles. Sure we have SVT/SVO from Ford and the like but the Aussie market was just full of these turbo Barra vehicles that punched waaay above their weight class.
I used to work in Ford dealership in Melbourne and had a chance to drive this car.It was awesome!But also it was thirsty as buldozer lol!I liked at a lot it was just an expensive toy!You should take Falcon Typhoon for a spin as well mate!It was fastest FPV released from production line that even was faster than Holden GTS Monaro apparently!So it was Falcon Typhoon sedan and Falcon Tornado ute!It was scary fast for a daily driver!
Very cool!! I have #104 in winter white in the south island of New Zealand. Credit to the last owners before me, in absolute mint condition with a mere 56k on the clock! The coolest SUV to haul the kids around in and also have some fun in when the time calls!
Finally Ross a territory turbo review and an f6x at that. I gave my 245kw a stage 1 and it come up trumps. 4 in dump into hi flow cat and 1000cc injectors ended up with 350kw or 266kw at treads and 730nm. I think ford did a great job as this thing is designed to eat up rough ozzy country roads. I'm used to a Nissan patrol tb42 with 16kw at the wheels and 25 per 100 fuel economy. for me the territory is great on fuel. I can get mine around 12 on long trips being nice with right foot. But it doesn't take much to blow that out.👍🍻
2012 is the first time I seen a F6X territory Canterbury bulldogs gave 1 to my cousin and his parents have still got it, my Asian friend has 1 also- plus a GT-T R34 yellow skyline and a ba XR6T with the typhoon bodykit
I have a Turbo Territory, brought it cheap as chips and didn't even know there was such a thing untill i seen the ad for the car. I love it, besides being heavy on fuel as you would expect, its a great car. Would love an F6X one day 😍
They were using the older Borg Warner transfer case for the AWD the torque split is full time 38% front and 62% rear and 1st gear is limited, also the rear diff ratio was change with the 6-speed ZF to 2.72 so 1st and 2nd are not the best but from 3rd through to 5th (which is 1:1) you can get some serious speed out of the Turbo Territory (both versions). As to why they did not sell? Fuel economy and poor marketing by First, at the time buyers wanted turbo diesel for Territory , it was not until the SY that happened but Ford chose the wrong engine.
@@josephbarker4436 I have a ghia my self in ego such a nice colour. Actually just got the misses a 2015 Titanium after her swift got written off. But one day I'll have the turbo terry.
I had no idea that this was ever available. Impressed with the bonnet and intercooler fitment. Angel may just get an upgrade in that respect......would that be a thing aye? I am sure that with some fettling it can be so. Great review dude!
Hey Ross you want handling I’ve got a territory sy series 2 Ghia turbo which is lowered 30 mm all round with Konis and larger sway bars , mate what a difference that made. Stopped the sway around corners totally and now I can power out of them just like I’m my fg xr8 with suspension work also
Hi, your videos are fkn awesome man!! Keep it up!! I never knew about this car either.. And speaking of the F6, I wanted an FG F6 brand new but they wanted too much for my budget at the time..
G’day mate, you have the best Aussie car review channel by far & it’s because it’s honest but fun to watch & gives the viewer the maximum information needed on the cars you review. Gunna check out your new merchandise 🇦🇺🍻👍👍👍
got myself a turbo territory and they are completely looked over by everyone nobody understands just how fast these things can go. mine has 370awkw and goes 0-100 in 5.3 seconds they are genuinely crazy cars where if u chuck a few thousand at the engine it’ll surprise you
There's a growing bunch of Turbo Territory fans modding these things now for high power. Not so much the F6X due to their rarity and hence value ($30-40k now) but definitely the standard TT's. 350 awkw is a pretty common figure for a few bolt-on mods and a tune!
I remember maybe two years ago seeing build number 002 on gumtree it was a beautiful red. It was one of the two publicity/test cars. I was so wanting to buy it but at the time didn't have the cash. If I remember at the time it was low $20k and it had done bugger all Ks
Sounds good. . There's about two each year that pop up for sale in nz around 20-30 grand I would've got the territory turbo if they weren't full of rust and just about every one I looked at I pulled up the boot rubber and saw rust .Be good to find a nice one ohh and go for 2010 apparently they don't have the failing ball joint problem
Hi Ross, the territory was better than a captiva & competitively priced agains a Kluger when it was 1st released. Nice to think of what an awd Typhoon may have been like. With the right axles, trans & diffs, perhaps such a cocept could put Nissan GTR to shame.
i reckon an AWD typhoon when done properly would have been a gtr rival 100% it could have been! you see territory all over the place so they did sell well i think when they where out
Plenty have done it. The axles, diff bushes and lower control arms sheet themselves before the transfer case. In fact, I can't recall a transfer going bad- they're pretty simple ones.
Hey Ross, did this F6X have any problems like the Ford Territory with the FG BARRA in it? I know they had a big problem with engine failure or something like that hence why they didn't continue it. 👍
@@RossReviewsauNah Its hardly a mod mate ;) The Territory turbos come with two pipes going into the rear muffler, one of them had a "bung" (looks like a big metal bottle cap) in it, its literally like a cork that blocks the pipe! Ford obviously thought the Territory needed quietening after the fact. To remove, you take the bloody bulky and heavy muffler off and hammer and ram a 1 meter long steel rod into it to bash the bung out! Takes a bit doing though lol ...It frees up the exhaust and gives the Terras a nice growl whilst maintaining the stock look. Great vid as usual mate!
I’m absolutely looking forward to this Brother, I’ll be chatting live with you and can’t wait to see the Holden VE Commodore Special Edition review. I should hopefully have a poison ivy Holden VE Commodore Special Edition coming to my channel this month. From Jordan’s car reviews.
The barra motor was the best straight 6 made in Australia, imagine if they didn't close down how many more icons Ford would have made, still upsets me today that we don't manufacture cars anymore.
Never new this existed , not that I could afford one. Seems there's some untapped potential in the territory. Pity they didn't put a V8 in there , ute/ tray back , manual box
@@RossReviewsau I think so!. Looked at a stocker a few years back the price was right but no need for a 7 seat wagon , should tow alright.. Seen a utube vid AU awd using territory bits interesting.
My brother owned a Territory Turbo a few years ago and offered it to me for trade in value but l wanted to hang on to my FG and l am now regretting that decision and someone out there got a real good unit it’s a case of you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone unfortunately! If you add up all the Territory sales and combine them with all the Falcon sales as the Territory was Based on the Falcon platform the product was a very successful more and more so than Holden’s 4WD version of its wagon, also I’m not a real fan of diesels but l reckon if Ford would have made a Falcon version with the Territory’s V6 diesel ( maybe even a twin turbo ) instead of the ill fated 4 cylinder eco boost model maybe Ford would still be building the car even Jaguar has a diesel 4 door sedan and imagine an AWD Turbo version of the FG with the Territory’s driveline! Anyhow a good video, cheers!
Very true! Always instant regret after a sale unfortunately 😅 the territory’s where great and did sell well it’s only the F6X that really bombed as the price was steep.. would have been great to see other engine options like a diesel
Did you know the exhaust is so restrictive its not funny and de tuned as well, a F6 typhoon is the real deal, but do the exhaust and cold air intake turbo and intercooler and you have a real quick AWD territory, around a 10's sec big 2 ton car if you get it right?
this was the best version of the Territory but the territory itself failed overall because Ford was late to the SUV party and had to compete with already well established models that were established in the mid 90's and developed like the Rav4, Xtrail, Kluger etc, Ford started from scratch and never really caught up
in that way they may have been late.. but i feel they were early with this car.. as almost ever SUV now has a supercar variant lol if only they waited a few years and put a 310 barra in her... or supercharged MIAMI! oh man
Nice mate,I've never seen one but it's got a f#% Barra so that's all you need to know Johnny lol & your merch should fly out the door man great designs & good quality gear,looking forward to wearing the shirts & hoodie I ordered & top vid as always buddy.
This model was okay but the effort should've been put into the wagon it would be a German estate killer and to boot I seen someone give the wagon the fpv treatment sunroof, manual it was insane.
I've wanted to do it myself, haven't found the right shell for the alternate sleeper. Especially when the Ute's parts driveline, bodywork etc are a direct swap with the wagon.
Time to find a HSV avalanche for a comparison... then a terri turbo against an LX8 adventra maybe. I can hook you up with an LX8 when you come to the east coast
YES! ive been looking.. here in perth its a rare sight! ive only see 1 or 2 ever here.. back in NZ tho i seen a lot.. weird lol im very keen to chase down one
This actually wasn’t a bad suv and considering most manufacturers now a days are making these types of cars I don’t understand why Ford went out of business
@@RossReviewsau yeah yeah nar not to shabby for a ol Ford mate. Hmmm bloody oth will be great to get some HSV action. Adolf Gladys won't let me take mine out more then 10ks I reckon a 7 week refund on bloody rego is in order.
Not Gunna be able to make 310 without doing a fmic. Those topmounts are horrible that's why they left the 270 in there. So they wouldn't have to redesign the bonnet and top mount or do a new front mount design.
Ayoo Ross, so I've been inspired by all of the channel vids of performance cars to get rid of the diesel daily and just went and bought a 2006 Territory Ghia Turbo, and I thank/blame you 🤣🤣 not quite as tidy as this (only cost me $8K! Not bad for Perth) nor is it an F6X, but you've not got any vids in the lower power sibling of these yet 😜😜
@@RossReviewsau those barras are solid engines, butfor the std drivetrains to also take those numbers without breaking just reinforces how good the baseline packages were. Ford really dropped the ball in maximising the export potentiol for those vehicles
it came out before every single manufacturer started doing hard core performance SUVs its not the first but it was early to the party the bigger manufactures could afford to wait
This car was ahead in its time. If Ford still made the Territory and there was still an FPV version, these things would be selling like hotcakes!
I say this exact point in the review 🤣 totally agree man
@@RossReviewsau LOL🤣
@@MartinJones123 I'd buy one!
@@RossReviewsau Like the new format, better quality.
BTW, what has happened to the AU series?

i think if this had a MIAMI v8 it would have sold very very well! but again was just to early.. the 5.4 would have been a slug in this

I think it has the old Gt3582 sized turbo from the B series rather than the newer Gt3575 (from the fg>) which was smaller to assist with no lag.
It has the same turbo as the BF F6 witch is the same as the FG310 F6.. correct it’s the bigger turbo

Could one of these be upgraded to handle say 400kw or would the transfer case self destruct
Plenty have done it. The axles, diff bushes and lower control arms sheet themselves before the transfer case. In fact, I can't recall a transfer going bad- they're pretty simple ones.
as Andy has said.. easily could achieve that!
Interesting beast mate. Great job.👍
cheers Dom! very cool suv
Forgot to mention it came out during the GFC and if optioned up it was $85k, GFC killed it not the FG
That didn’t help

To remove, you take the bloody bulky and heavy muffler off and hammer and ram a 1 meter long steel rod into it to bash the bung out! Takes a bit doing though lol ...It frees up the exhaust and gives the Terras a nice growl whilst maintaining the stock look. Great vid as usual mate!
@@HereIsMyOffer cheers for the info!
Passed up the opportunity to snag one of those up early this year for 18,000 nzd but couldn't justify it. Probably should of just brought it
DAMN! that hurts.. would be safe to say they are double that now
I’m absolutely looking forward to this Brother, I’ll be chatting live with you and can’t wait to see the Holden VE Commodore Special Edition review. I should hopefully have a poison ivy Holden VE Commodore Special Edition coming to my channel this month. From Jordan’s car reviews.
cheers as always jordan!
Don’t mind them at all there’s one down the road from me that I see all the time
they are great! your lucky to see one so often!
Fantastic cars. Easily one of the best fords in the last 20 years. Woule love one but so freaking hard 2 find
very unique! loved having a closer look at this.. very rare
It's not a huge step from my 2006 with 245kw?
The barra motor was the best straight 6 made in Australia, imagine if they didn't close down how many more icons Ford would have made, still upsets me today that we don't manufacture cars anymore.
Never new this existed , not that I could afford one.
Seems there's some untapped potential in the territory. Pity they didn't put a V8 in there , ute/ tray back , manual box
lots of people have never even seen one! really cool car
@@RossReviewsau I think so!.
Looked at a stocker a few years back the price was right but no need for a 7 seat wagon , should tow alright..
Seen a utube vid AU awd using territory bits interesting.
Theres one that lives in busselton.. I really want it 😍
They’re are a few around WA! They are so nice love em
I love that car but in particular I love this six-cylinder engine with turbos on it that car is super ultra rare you can't find this in road
the engine is easily the best part :)
@@RossReviewsau yep that engine with turbos fast as af in a straight line drives like a flash
Best SUV ever made 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
BEAST EH!
Great review of a great car. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough 😁
HAHA.. you can watch it again ;)
My brother owned a Territory Turbo a few years ago and offered it to me for trade in value but l wanted to hang on to my FG and l am now regretting that decision and someone out there got a real good unit it’s a case of you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone unfortunately! If you add up all the Territory sales and combine them with all the Falcon sales as the Territory was Based on the Falcon platform the product was a very successful more and more so than Holden’s 4WD version of its wagon, also I’m not a real fan of diesels but l reckon if Ford would have made a Falcon version with the Territory’s V6 diesel ( maybe even a twin turbo ) instead of the ill fated 4 cylinder eco boost model maybe Ford would still be building the car even Jaguar has a diesel 4 door sedan and imagine an AWD Turbo version of the FG with the Territory’s driveline! Anyhow a good video, cheers!
Very true! Always instant regret after a sale unfortunately 😅 the territory’s where great and did sell well it’s only the F6X that really bombed as the price was steep..
would have been great to see other engine options like a diesel
Hey John, what was the link to the f6x rspec video? I cant find it. Tia
Sorry I forgot to link it.. just type F6X into UA-cam and it’s the first video
Did you know the exhaust is so restrictive its not funny and de tuned as well, a F6 typhoon is the real deal, but do the exhaust and cold air intake turbo and intercooler and you have a real quick AWD territory, around a 10's sec big 2 ton car if you get it right?
yeh just like my typhoon a simple tune and breathing mods the car goes 400kw lol
this was the best version of the Territory but the territory itself failed overall because Ford was late to the SUV party and had to compete with already well established models that were established in the mid 90's and developed like the Rav4, Xtrail, Kluger etc, Ford started from scratch and never really caught up
in that way they may have been late.. but i feel they were early with this car.. as almost ever SUV now has a supercar variant lol if only they waited a few years and put a 310 barra in her... or supercharged MIAMI! oh man
Nice mate,I've never seen one but it's got a f#% Barra so that's all you need to know Johnny lol & your merch should fly out the door man great designs & good quality gear,looking forward to wearing the shirts & hoodie I ordered & top vid as always buddy.
Thanks Pete! Always appreciate the support I think they have sent you a added bonus also🤫. Hope you enjoy the merch
This model was okay but the effort should've been put into the wagon it would be a German estate killer and to boot I seen someone give the wagon the fpv treatment sunroof, manual it was insane.
ive always wished they had of kept the wagon.. a FG 310 wagon how cool
I've wanted to do it myself, haven't found the right shell for the alternate sleeper. Especially when the Ute's parts driveline, bodywork etc are a direct swap with the wagon.
@@vortex925 hope you get it done one day very cool
The amount of these produced isn't really settled. Some say 229 were made, 251 or 300+. I really can't get a straight answer.
251 made. First 22 were “prototypes” 229 were ordered by public.
@@TOWIEdotcom ah ok I didn't know the 'pilots' were included.
it is a varied number but enough people who know their stuff had confirmed with me its 251 made..
Time to find a HSV avalanche for a comparison... then a terri turbo against an LX8 adventra maybe. I can hook you up with an LX8 when you come to the east coast
I have two LX8s I still use for work. Great cars. A bit ahead of their time as well. They do like a drink of petrol though.
YES! ive been looking.. here in perth its a rare sight! ive only see 1 or 2 ever here.. back in NZ tho i seen a lot.. weird lol im very keen to chase down one
This actually wasn’t a bad suv and considering most manufacturers now a days are making these types of cars I don’t understand why Ford went out of business
It was a really good suv! If only they had come out with the 310barra and had maybe waited a few more years they would have timed it much better
mine is 1025HP but also not an F6X, I wouldn't devalue any fpv car with mods.
holy hell! haha 1000hp turbo territory thats epic mate! its true to keep them as looking stock to maintain collectability
These are a really good looking car
love them eh! super cool
Credit to the owner, that thing is immaculate
BIG TIME! was in showroom spec
Ohh Yeah!! Bring it!!
hope you enjoyed it bro
If you have a spare 40k, build number 1 is on sale in WA 😁
For the first time i wish it was raining during this review.
Unfortunately I don’t think the owner would have liked that😅 or my cameras 📸
I have a turbo territory 2006 with 270 kW and I'm getting 12 Litres per100 new oxygen sensor and computer reset to e10 fuel
Sounds about right I guess awd
The ford territory f6 must be a collector's car
its definitely a collectors car!
That's nice
What a wicked car!!!
SO GOOD EH!!!
If only Ford had given the poor old BF wagon the same treatment.
i know right! would have loved to see a FG 310 Wagon!
Grrrrip! What turbo falcons lack
lol yes! this one has all the GRIP!
Was faster then I thought ay. Bloody nice suv old Ford pulled off with this one
not bad for a ford eh mike ;p we have a HSV VF comparison coming soon you will froth for haha
@@RossReviewsau yeah yeah nar not to shabby for a ol Ford mate. Hmmm bloody oth will be great to get some HSV action. Adolf Gladys won't let me take mine out more then 10ks I reckon a 7 week refund on bloody rego is in order.
@@mikenolan3060 i reckon mate! lol not being able to drive your LS for that long is un australian
A build like this, blacked out and lowered, boy that'd be sexy
That’s what I’m talking about! And modify it to push 400kw🥵
I met bloke the other day in Perth got a white one with 700hp killer
oh wow really thats very cool! tell him to come on the channel HAHA.. sounds a weapon
@@RossReviewsau next time he comes to my work I’ll show him ya channel
@@johns1721 legend!
Not Gunna be able to make 310 without doing a fmic.
Those topmounts are horrible that's why they left the 270 in there. So they wouldn't have to redesign the bonnet and top mount or do a new front mount design.
These are still 270 motors tho out the typhoon I’m tho.. not the FG
Matttteee I'm calling clickbait cause I already knew abt this car 😂
your one of the few then ;) its a hidden gem this F6X
There are 3 of these on CarSales at the moment and prices are ranging from 30-50K
An F6 FG AWD would have been the ultimate ! BARRA-ZILLA ! 👌😁
HOW GOOD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN!!!
There's an AWD G6E turbo getting around the interwebs
@@hdtgroupa3283 ive seen it online does 0-100 in like sub 4 seconds eh
@@RossReviewsau yeah indeed.. 4 sec flat, thinking that'd be a nice replacement for our FGII F6, one day..
@@hdtgroupa3283 sick upgrade thats for sure
Just found one for sale in New Zealand for $26000
Very rare
I drove one of these when they came out but the 350 kms per tank of petrol just didnt make the cut lol ..
Thirsty yes
Ayoo Ross, so I've been inspired by all of the channel vids of performance cars to get rid of the diesel daily and just went and bought a 2006 Territory Ghia Turbo, and I thank/blame you 🤣🤣 not quite as tidy as this (only cost me $8K! Not bad for Perth) nor is it an F6X, but you've not got any vids in the lower power sibling of these yet 😜😜
No vids on the turbo terry yet but would be a good video! They are awesome things sounds like a good buy 😈
@@RossReviewsau Maybe one day when I've gotten some TLC done to it and a little extra boost, you could give it a burl around 😏😏
Only thing stopping me buying one 2 years ago was the Mrs.
The fuel bill
And
She knew I'd modify it 😂
Fuel bill will add up.. but man it would be quick with a tune and bolt ons
I gather you havent seen the fullboost vids of the 1500hp awd territory… and a 1200hp, 1000hp.
I’ve seen a few of them
@@RossReviewsau those barras are solid engines, butfor the std drivetrains to also take those numbers without breaking just reinforces how good the baseline packages were. Ford really dropped the ball in maximising the export potentiol for those vehicles
@@gfenwick1 100% all FPVs should have been sold internationally
Barra in a AWD.. Interesting
If only it wasn’t so fat lol needs a tune to come on boost faster
When ya want an fpv and ya misses wants an suv
yup good compromise
Would look so much better with GHIA wheels
I first tough it was a subaru 😅🤣
HAHA its a sleeper ! a F6 barra with a top mount intercooler ;p
Wouldn’t say it was ahead of its time AMG AND BMW where making performance SUVs way before this car
it came out before every single manufacturer started doing hard core performance SUVs its not the first but it was early to the party the bigger manufactures could afford to wait
AMG ML63 BMW X5 M we’re out a couple years earlier just to name two Land Rover sport had a supercharged car out then two
