Says alot for Fords Design that after all this time they had to adopt some of Fords ideas
Hate to let your tyres down but everything minus extra room behind the drivers seat has been there for many years now :

I don't know what's worse the Kingswood Utes with the "powerful" 202, bullbars, lights and aerials or the metrosexual SS Commodore Utes.......

No doubt the back of the Ute is a real ugly duckling. I still think the Malloo back is awkward. The base model Omega looks stupid with the steel rims, but as we all know, this ute is not going to be a true work ute.

I understand that there is a big change to the rear Falcon styleside box - notice we havent seen any spy shots of it yet.

That could be also in the 'bad bits'...... Have you tried to reach things lying on the the floor of a Falcon ute from the side? A few times I have had to climb in to get bits so any higher could be a pain. Thats why I like trays!
