its just a ute with a jacked up suspension and its rear wheel drive at the moment so it couldnt match it with a proper four-wheeler of road like a ladcruiser or landrover or pajero

uhh ford never intended for it to be a competitor to other 4x4's, they produced it because the normal falcon ute sits lower to the ground than the jap competitors because of its car base, so they produced this for people who wanted a car based light truck and needed to jump across the odd rock. ford may well still produce a 4x4 version of this car, the 4x4 hardware and virtual pivot front suspension all fit under the ba sedan shell so theres no reason why it shouldnt fit on the ute
