I Just brought a 2011 Colorado L-TR DUEL CAB 3 LITRE TURBO DIESEL. which i am very happy with. i have been going to moreton & fraser island for 30 years & have driven many differant makes & models of 4WD over these years. which includes toyota navara ford & have no doubt that the colorado is as good or even better then the named brans & has no problems handling the soft sand on these islands never got bogged but did see toyotas & navaras bogged so why pay a lot more for latter.

I am no expert but.1) POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO
2) POWER BAND OF ENGINE
3) DIFF RATIOS
4) ENGINEERING SHOP FOR
DIFFERENT CAMSHAFT
5) RECALIBRATE FUEL TO AIR RATIO TO
COMBUSTION CHAMBER
end result is Jap light truck what does 9 not 20 litres/100 km, me thinks somebody not trying or just plain dumb

Are you all morons. The v6 is an Aussie engine.
Buy the diesel. It has double the fuel economy and pulls like a train.

marsie ford dose make a crew cab it’s called a focus, you buy a ute for a reason, to load it up, if you want a car to pick the kids up buy a sedanor a tarago, attention FORD and HOLDEN stop sacraficing tray space for seats….

G’day all. I’m on the market for a ute right now. Its a toss between the ’08 Rodeo, the new Colorado, or Hilux. Have and still do own a ’04 Rodeo. Its been a great truck and has been lots of fun and reliable, tough as guts. Would like to try todays Hilux but reluctant to give toyota 10grand extra for a much overrated truck thats gonna do the same job. 2 years ago i read in a car magazine toyota’s main priority was to half production costs….hasn’t done me as a buyer any good. So am i being ripped off? Hilux is tough and reliable they say at the dealerships….so is the rodeo. All of a sudden though the rodeo has an almost 50grand bill…i wrecken they’re all losing it. People should stand forth and not buy for a while. Let the ass fall out of the market, after all buyers create it.

Yeah i agree with the hilux comment being overpriced but the Colorado is up there too.Too expensive for a holden and how does the diesel rate economically.

Fuel economy – Learn how to DRIVE people (unless your a Kelly, Skaifey or have to prove something)
Wow – it looks kinda nice – does it have a nice stereo and come in pretty colours?
Does Ford have a crew cab Falcon ute? Do Ford or Holden have a 4wd crew cab ute? or turbo diesel version?
Some people buy what they think will impress.
Some of us buy what is practical for us.
My experience with RA Rodeo is – ****. I have a 99 Rodeo – ****ing awsome. Yes I would love a HSV 427 but if the new Colorado stacks up for what my family needs –
