    My mate finch just bought a VY SII SS Ute and its a 6 sp.
    The argument is that i said its got IRS, then the other guys cracked the ****s saying that it doesnt.

    All utes AFTER the VS have IRS. The VS is the last ute with a live axle.

    Technically the tonner isn't a ute, it's just called a One Tonner.

    Ye raises a good point.
    On another note, i lost a $10 note somewhere, it looks similar to this:

    If anyone finds it can you please return it to me

    I would remove that if I was you, what you have done there is illegal. You cannot copy, scan or reproduce Australian currency in any way unless you have a big SAMPLE or something similar across it.

    Do you think IRS is a bad idea for utes, seeing as thay are meant to carry weight and the camber can get pretty bad when loaded up

    Good point actually, i know they have stiffer suspension and all that to cope with the weight, although i know the Vy's have a better irs setup than previous

    Vehicles with IRS can handle plenty of weight without too many problems, just make sure you have a good camber kit if you are hauling around very heavy loads.
    When i had my old VT wagon that had IRS i had over 500kg of stuff in the back more than once. If anything i flt that the car handles better with all that extra weight in the back.
