The Commodores utes do look good but they aren't a work ute as they can't carry much and they can't tow more than a ton

If I bought a ute I would get the Holden for the looks and the Ford for work.

to be honest i dont think the VY-VZ utes are anything to look at, inside or out. Give me falcon ute any day.. oh no need, i already have one! (No im not being biased its the un-holy truth).

mine isn't a 1 tonne ute and the thing has survived carrying big loads of around 800kgs, and towing another big car (at different times!). I thought that was fairly impressive.

Bull sh*t they seat five people. More like two people and three midgets. How would you go sitting in the back of a Navara crew cab?

you’ve summed if up in one sentence, they’re not in the same class.

Cheers, Danny

Behind my seat, Hard hat, flashing light, plastic seat covers, jack etc, files, spare clothes, and a 8 can fridge. And there is still room for my RC Helis. Cant beat a ford ute.

(Especially when its a FPV)

Agreed. If I were to get a new ute, I would choose Holden.
But personally, the AU looks better than all the above.

That and Ford engineered all their utes to be cheaper and easier to change.
