"The decision by Ford Thailand to add Territory to their line-up is further proof this innovative model is a world class vehicle," said Ford Australia President Tom Gorman.
"Australian motor vehicle expertise is being recognised around the world and the export of Ford Territory to Thailand is testament to the quality of cars we are building here.
"Ford Thailand has opted for luxury and will sell the premium Territory model only ? the range topping Ghia AWD."
On sale from May, the Thai-spec Territory will be sold standard with seven seats, Hill Descent Control, an alloy spare wheel and front and rear tow eyes.
"Ford Thailand was very interested in the development of Territory and last year displayed a Ghia version at the Bangkok International Motor Show," said Mr Gorman.
"The response from show patrons was enthusiastic, with great feedback about the combination of SUV versatility and car-like dynamics."
Mr Gorman said Ford expected to sell about 120 Territorys in Thailand each year, adding to the profitability of Ford Australia and incremental sales of Territory. Territory is already exported to New Zealand, where it has been the market leading SUV since launching in 2004, and to South Africa.
Territory has been the best selling SUV in Australia since July 2004, achieving more than 40,000 sales and racking up numerous awards including Wheels Car of the Year 2004 and consecutive Best Recreational Four Wheel Drive titles in Australia's Best Cars awards.
