While the GLS tag died, the base “Falcon” ute and van gained the GL tag and standard five-speed manual gearbox, but retained the 750kg payload and no power steering.

There were also minor trim changes. The 121kW/325Nm 4.1L engine was the only powerplant choice. The new S ute had a payload of 799kg.
