Hold on..i am lost...are we bagging GU Pootrols with the best motor they put in them (not a high bar) or modern TD utes or both?
Cheers

By the looks of things we are bagging anything with four wheels that is drivable.:pQuote:

My impressions of it? Quiet compared to the 110, but the seats had my back aching before I got home, the visibilty is pretty appalling compared to the 110, especially forward visibility and over the bonnet on steep creeks and round the thick windscreen pillars. Handling was a little worse, ride definitely worse - and the aircon didn't work at all (I accepted it knowing that; it was either that or accept a two wheel drive or walk).
Overall unimpressed. (And that was comparing a two year old car with one that was 25 years old and done five times the mileage!)

Don't like any of them,the rolly polly Patrol/Cruiser or the mushy front horse cart rear of modern utes. PatQuote:

Now we will see if Land Rover or anyone else can bridge the gap with a HD work vehicle to replace Defender, 70 series Tojo's and Patrol utes...Quote:
