Hahahaha. Dual cab utes are like hybrids. Remember those? Not a road bike, not a mtb. Useless at everything. If it can't carry a tonne in the back and a proper lenght of material its just a station wagon where your shit gets wet and stolen from the back.
The demise of the aussie 1tonner was a real shame. Flat bed etc with side gates, load unload either side. LTIL
Crew cab soft 4wds with boot sized rears are a joke. LTIH.
VW sent me some promo stuff saying the Amarok W9ould be a F250 killer. V10 diesel 1t full sized rear with crew cab, 4.5t towing capacity. I thought great. Can sell the f250 and get something with 20th century technology. Well the GFC happened and they turned the Amarok into a childs toy.

Victoria Police are now using Amaroks as their new Divi Vans too.

Dual cabs have their place. Unfortunately they are being marketed as the answer for all things 4wd and towing. There are better options for this.
PS: i have owned 4 different dual cabs, each were ex work so cheap and for a purpose. Never again.

While Hotham is my favourite Australian ski field, that's a lot of money for the shittest snow in the world and a very short season. I'd wager they will be pumping the summer options.

Little bit of tinkering, swapa few parts, or a lot of parts off the astrix. Bit of elbow grease. Oh and a prayer to the lord of mtb, he who must remain nameless. All sorted

I grew up with Ute's of every kind. Old man was a builder.
Commodores, Falcons, Rodeos, Navaras...
Single cabs, king cabs, dual cabs
... you name it.
I currently own an old shitty Falcon ute that I paid fuck all for and goes well (LTIL)
Had 700kgs of beach sand in it today and it drove great (wasn't even on the bump stops)
The current obsession with fancy dual cabs is a bit silly really. I suspect a lot of people don't really need them... but need to feel masculine?
But I do think for some people they are actually the perfect do-it-all vehicle.
I think buying a Landcruiser/Pajero/Patrol/Big Merc/Audi
2 tonne tank, and then driving it around suburbia to ferry the kids and do the shopping etc is right up there with the stupidest human behaviour around.... for about 100 reasons. LTIH.

I believe it was the second last genuine Ford Australia F250 to be sold. Factory RHD made in Brazil (I think). Only vehicle we've ever had that went up in value after we bought it. Must be at least 10 years old now. Ancient technology but its the sort of thing you can keep going for ever. At the time was the only 4.5 tonne towing vehicle we could get.

just imagine how fast Ari would have done Pikes Peak in a real car like his RS 1800

A whole lot slower given the RS is two wheel drive ;-)
I like the 5 turbo. Bit fractious though. Saw a 6r4 last week and another MkII Quattro. This one only had 650bhp. The 6r4 is uglier in the metal than you could believe. It belonged to Alastair MacRae. There is an RS200 somewhere in Brisbane supposedly.
