Looks good Niel.
How do you find them inside. Thought they were a bit under done when we were looking at them a couple of years ago.

mate this has all the fruit
all the controls on the leather steering wheel multi function dash display which gives u fuel averages and consuption and distance remaining plus heaps of other info that u dont need ,heaps more comfy than the ranger plenty of leg room front and back ,no trouble fitting afew big blokes in the back compaired to the ranger where my kids would be kicking the back of my seat as i was driving .probally the only thing that i dont like is you cant completly turn of the traction control ,with it on you cant churp the tyres at all with it off you can spin them for a couple of seconds before it cuts in but it stiil got through some boggy sand noworries where my cruiser used to struggle a bit

Good
Good to hear they have specd them up.
When we looked at them they had only just come out and were more like a basic work ute.
Might have to have another look when the bus is due to be replaced.

Nice,We'd go the Colorados
Nice,
We'd go the Colorados again - if they'd only extend the tub length.
They've been incredibly reliable and hardy work mules (Survey Vehicles) over the years proven through some seriously harsh virgin bush terrain.
Will be going the all-new Rangers next though, checked them out last week and they are very impressive. (pricey though)
Nearly all the current models for this type of vehicle have really stepped up their interior kit-out
