Stitched to embrace tradition
Mail & Guardian

Ford launched the Territory Dark Edition in South Africa earlier this month with some styling changes to what was already a worthy contender in a crowded SUV segment.
The Territory comes in three trims: Ambiente, Trend and now the Dark Edition, which replaces the Titanium variant that I tested last month.
The Titanium variant felt in sync with competitors because it has a bold exterior mixed with a fancy interior that felt accomplished.
The one thing I did notice with the Titanium variant is that both inside and out, it doesn't have the usual characteristics of a Ford SUV. Whether it was the broad, squared headlights or other unique styling features that allow you to distinguish a Ford from other SUVs out there, something was missing.
Not that it was bad, but it feels good to step into a vehicle that understands its identity.
With the Territory Dark Edition, Ford has made the exterior more stylish and athletic.
In the front, the grille has been upgraded to satin black, combined with high-gloss black treatment for the skid plate, fog lamp accents and mirror caps.
