Here in Australia, the overwhelming majority of pickups we get are mid-size (Ranger etc). We do get some RAMs, some Silverados, and some custom-ordered SuperDutys, and Ford Australia say they're bringing in some F-150 XLTs and Lariats in mid-2023, but only one configuration of each. Want anything different in F-150 like me? Then it's special order time. So, here's the steps:
P.S. This info mainly for other Aussies, but I thought you Nth Americans would get a chuckle out of it too.
P.P.S. If forum rules allow, I'll send a FREE (inc. shipping, Tim-Tams, Butter Menthols etc., Google them) care package anywhere worldwide to the closest delivery date guess
- Order from a local dealer who can arrange it (not a normal Ford dealer usually)
- They will order from a licensed USA Exporter
- Then the exporter will order from a USA/Canada dealer
- Then the process is the same as for the USA/Canada
- Then it eventually gets onto a ship
- Then it eventually clears Australian Customs
- Then it gets to the local dealer
- Then it goes for right-hand-drive conversion and ADR (Australian Design Rules) Compliance
- Then it goes back to the dealer
- Then I get it, whew!
