Falcon is supposed to be good with 1 tonne pack but I don't see any around.
One guy at work has a ute, the rest of us have sedans, SUVs or small cars.

I've noticed that too, Big Damo. Those 4x4 dual cabs have to be the most popular, but yet the most compromised at everything they do. People love them, including the horrid back seat, less safety both passive and active, comprimised tray, less overall comfort, less 4x4 ability than a specialised wagon/ute. Hopefully next Ranger addresses some of this.
To Gobes and Wotdah, thanks guys for all your work, our family has appreciated it immensely for years. Great highway cars you can drive for 700km+ and come out feeling refreshed, effortless torque, economy, great ride comfort, reliability and build quality. At least ours have been. Thanks for the Territory too, we are a young family who were able to buy one new - special factory order too. Comfort, power, ride height, functionality and AWD so on most days you don't have to scrounge in the mud putting on snow chains to get up the hill! AWD and Aussie made, wow... It was a pretty special day picking it up and 127,000km later it still feels new. Cheers, don't feel depressed, some Australians realise that what you make is very great indeed.
