I wonder if Ford would ever consider putting Ecoboost in the RWD Territory,
a 9 l/100 km petrol SUV might offer a bit of competition in the petrol SUV
market, maybe work better than Ecoboost Falcon..

Yeah, i'd love to see the Ecoboost in Territory and the diesel in the Falcon (especially the Ute).
Territory currently gets 10.6L/100km in RWD petrol & 8.2L/100km in RWD diesel. Incidentally and for comparison the 2012 Toyota Kluger is rated at 11.0L/100km.
Falcon sedan gets 9.9L/100km in petrol (4.0) and 8.1L/100km in Ecoboost petrol.
Falcon Ute gets 10.7L/100km in petrol (4.0).
So, a 9L/100km result from an Ecoboost Territory is achievable. Yep, it definitely provide strong competition to others in the market.
IMO Falcon sedan could get 7.5L/100km in diesel. Falcon Ute probably 8.0L/100km in diesel form. Importantly, having diesel in Falcon Ute would open the way to more tradies/fleets hearts and wallets.
