Introduction
The Ford XG Falcon was introduced in March 1993 as a facelift of the Ford XF Falcon commercial range, which it replaced. The XG was marketed in coupe utility and panel van body styles and during its three years in production it was sold alongside the EB Falcon, ED Falcon and EF Falconsedan and wagon models.
The XG featured the XF Falcon-style body with a new front similar to that of the EB Falcon. An overhead camshaft engine, anti-lock brakes and a one-tonne option were offered for the first time on Falcon commercial models.

The XG range included 2-door coupe utility and 2-door panel van body styles, marketed as follows.
- Ford Falcon Longreach GLi Ute
- Ford Falcon Longreach GLi Van
- Ford Falcon Longreach S Ute
- Ford Falcon Longreach Outback Ute (released June 1995)
- Ford Falcon XR6 Ute (released October 1993)
A limited edition Longreach GLi Tradesman Ute was offered from December 1995, with 800 examples produced.
Engine and transmissions
The XG was powered by a 148kw 4.0 litre six cylinder overhead camshaft engine. The XR6 model was fitted with a 161kw version of this unit. 5 speed manual and 4 speed automatic transmissions were available.Replacement
The XG series was replaced by the XH Falcon in April 1996.Gallery
