no offense, but if i went shopping for a falcon, because i really wanted a falcon, there's no way i'd be driving home in a mitsibishi just because a sales person didn't scratch my back. i'm guessing you weren't that fussed whether you got a falcon or not. perhaps you didn't even seriously want one.

i'm probably different to most, but i'd never let a relationship with someone i'm never likely to meet more than a few times (salesperson) stop me from getting the car i wanted.

No offence taken. I really wanted the Falcon and had been thinking about it for months. I was pretty sure that you could fit a child seat in the ute as I could in my AU. I had a quote from a leasing company and I wanted to make sure I could fit a child seat before I signed. So I scoured the Ford website and brochures but could not find any mention of their being anchorage points in the ute. I was going to call Ford but in the FAQ on their website it states "I have a technical question concerning a Ford vehicle. Where do I go? For technical information, you should contact your Ford Dealer - our Dealers are our technical experts and will be able to assist you." so thats what I did. I got a negative answer so I took my business elsewhere as I did not want to end up with a ute that I could not have a child seat in.

I probably would have just stuck my nose in a ute to see if there was an anchor point.

Or asked us here given we've been asked similar questions before and have been able to answer.

Have fun with that Triton... For the price they are pretty good value.

Tritons a decent unit, I quite enjoyed my time with my MN. But my kiddy seat is now strapped in the front of my FG ute

Sorry back on topic!
