The Isuzu NLR is the logical business decision seven tonne gcm too.
More payload much better gcm.
Better value for money by far

But
If you are going to use it for a lot of personal use ie as a car in non work situations the ute loos rides drives keeps up with the Jones better.

It’s impressive value.

Considered truck sales Franco?

No tradie who wants something to double up as a weekend toy is going anywhere near a light truck.

They're not going to go near a single cab ute either - they're the ones that get used for work

But I understand what you're saying, if I was the one purchasing for a work purpose I wouldn't be buying the crew $46K Hilux Diesel hi rider single cabs, its a little bit more of a stretch but for a longer tray, higher payload, can tow more and is a more durable vehicle.

N series Isuzu's are legal with 2-2.5 Tonne Payload.. Depends on the weight of the Tray/Body..

Car License is anything with a GVM of Less than 4500Kgs.. which is why Most lights Trucks (Including N series isuzus) give you the Option of GVM upgrades..
Ram 1500 here has a GVM of 4.495 Tonne which is lower than what they are in the States..

I think you'll find that's the 2500. The 1500 is less than that.

Weighs 2005KG sans tray, so what would an alloy tray weigh? 200KG?

Gives you 2270kg payload + it has a GCM of 8 tonnes (says 7 tonnes in the ad, brochure says GCM 8 tonnes).

Should come with bras n things voucher cause those of us with manboobs will be needing bra fitment with how horrible those things ride

OMG, Ford actually sold a couple of these. Spotted two XL Single Cab Chassis new-gen's on the road today.

**Giant Cranium** · 17-08-2023, 08:35 PM

I saw a xl 4x4 space cab tub back twin turbo today. Was an odd thing to see.

I've seen precisely one

See a tonne of dual cab 4x4 variants every morning, mostly construction and rail mobs.

Seems they use the Thailand Specials for transportation of staff, the doing work vehicles tend to be LDV Deliver 9/Mercedes Sprinter cab chassis with trays or service bodies or Jap trucks.

The old man is currently driving an XLS while his PX III is getting a new engine. Most don't like the base model headlights, but I think they look good.................

That's what $60K buys you these days, a base model with alloy wheels. Not even a tub liner for that level of coin.

To think a forum sponsor here in 2010 offered me a new FG Falcon Ute povvo pack with ZF for $26K DA and I knocked it back because I wanted a manual one

I follow an account on Instagram that posts old Australian car ads. Today's was of the 2010 FG XR6 50th Anniversary Ute. Price? $32,950 drive away. That price won't even get you into a single cab chassis Ranger with vinyl floors, a underpowered diesel engine and steel wheels.

How good has been losing our car manufacturing industry, our VF SV6 company car was $36K DA

These days you'd be lucky getting a Corolla for that coin AND have to wait 18 months for the privilege.

Or pay $50K for a 'used' one with delivery kilometres they have on the yard

I guess the $60K povvo spec Ranger is a good value proposition against the VDJ79 which costs 15x Victoria's GSP, has wind up windows and you've got to wait three decades before you'll see it.

Or you can pay 24 trillion dollars and get the 'used' one with delivery kilometres that they have on the yard.
