That means October build date. You can flip it for double what you paid for it apparently.

I was at my local dealer the other day to get the "end of warranty check" done on my '13 FGII XR6. I had a look around and pretty much all I could see were lines of Rangers, Kugas, a couple of Territories, and hidden away up in a far away corner, a new, FG-X XR6 ute. It was dusty and looked as if it had sat for a while...

G'day...Beautiful car but not $110,000 perhaps..
Another oddity..On one of the pieces of printed paperwork in one of the photos did you notice it says to enjoy the car for many pleasant 'miles' not kilometres..
Haven't we been metric since 1974 ? Sloppy Ford , sloppy...
Cheers Rod

G'day Ford's home is in the USA ....of course but this had Ford Australia printed on it..Couldn't they outlay a few bucks at Head Office in OZ and print a piece of paper without 'miles' on it.. just for our little outpost...
It might be minor to most , it is in reality but it also shows a little lack of attention to detail in my eyes.. If you're going to spend 60-70 grand plus on a new car it'd be nice to see no silly little but easy fix mistakes like that...
Cheers Rod..
