Ute Showdown - Ford Vs Holden

[-MARTY54-]

Found this an interesting read... Both XR8 and XR6T(no surprise) quicker than Bogan special . Ford need to get the IRS into the ute. At least the XRs.

Cant we have atleast one ute left as a ute for those of us that actually work our xr's and leave the dunny doors with there whimpy irs for the posers.. gees if they go irs I'd have to go back to a 4by ute.. Me thinks irs is the wrong direction when you think what it is a ute is spose to do for a living

cheers utemad

Ditto utemad, ute is for play AND work , picked up 500kgs of drains for my shed today. easy peasy.

So I wasn't seeing things....

I dont think I would have written that article any differently...

Someone correct me if Im wrong but Im sure the utes built after Sept 2008 are fitted with stability control?

Looks to me like they havent done their homework to well

Very impressed how the xr6t can repeat the low 0-100 times over and over again!

Are the FG's utes IRS?

wow, you can buy a SS-V for less than NA XR6 at the moment. that's a serious saving.

[tab]

Won't be long before they are paying you to take them...because seriously why would you buy one?

im surprised the XR8 is quicker than the Bogan special - Expensive Daewoo dudes are always bagging the XR8 etc !!

I dont mind the looks of the Expensive Daewoo utes but hate the front spoiler on the SS's.. Maloos look much better

pretty good article - (if not a little brief)

The performance gap between ss and xr6T seems to be getting bigger every day. (but I love that v8 rumble)

I would also have mentioned the much better cabin/dash that the fords have over the holden.
