The ARW have a history of getting vehicles suitable for all tasks they carry out, not necessarily from the Govt Supplies catalog. Business cases are not the ark of the covenant they once were.
The F350 was a specialised vehicle, more akin to an AFV purchase. They recently got ACMAT Tactical vehicles to back up the F350. Nobody else in the DF has used acmat for years. The suggestion they would get a Ford ranger is thankfully not the case. Unless that is they seek a 4x4 high end passenger vehicle suitable for pulling horseboxes....Anything is possible.
My dept replaced a 1998 Land Rover Discovery Commercial with a 2016 Pajero Commercial. The other option we were given was a Ford Kuga commercial. We still operate a 2007 Kia Sorento.
GS just got a batch of Hyundai Tuscons.
