When I took both cars for a test drive, I found the drive train on the xr6t auto was far superior than the Bogan special auto but the Bogan special had a little more grip in the rear (due to the IRS and the way the v8 delivers it power) but the electronic ESP and TC make both cars safe and esay to drive in the dry/wet (as long as you do not turn them off then both cars are a hand full). For work I think the xr6t is better. It still has the strong leaf spring setup. I ending up buying a 2nd hand BF series 2 xr6t ute because I wish you could turn off just esp or tc not both (when will the manufacture wake up) esp comes on to early when driving on dirt road but I would never turn of tc on a ute. Also have a look at the xr8 ute.
