Commodore Ute Drivers' Next Vehicle?

[KT11H]

Hopefully there are still quite a few years before replacing my work ute. Would like to know what's your next vehicle to replace it? My first ute was a second hand 2wd Ford Courier, then a new 4wd Ford Courier, a 4 wd V6 Mazda Bravo, a Ford Falcon Turbo Ute, a VF1 SSV ute to the current VF2 Redline ute. Hard to go back to the "Pick up" ute but guess we have no choice now. Quite like the upcoming Ford Ranger Raptor otherwise it would be VW V6 Amarok for me. What's yours?

If I was in that market , I'd get the Colorado or the Isuzu D-Max .

For me it would all come down to where I was living & what I was doing at the time.
I live in Darwin and the "Outback" (where there's no bastard around for miles) isn't too far out of town, so it would definitely be a Landcruiser. Had my last Cruiser ute for 14 years and it had a bloody hard life while I owned it, but that thing went everywhere I wanted it to and it always got me home again without any issues......Well except for a few shredded tyres anyway
If I was living in a more heavily populated area, it would be a twin cab Hilux. It would be more functional for me as a daily driver and still be a great reliable weekend 4wd.

The next Ute I'll buy is a HQ Kingswood with a 308 and M21 box.

I'm happy to keep it simple.

Thanks guys, it is hard to replace Commodore ute in suburban building sites where 4wd isn't really needed but power is essential to get ahead in the traffic. A replacement vehicle has to be fun and safe to drive, Toyota/D Max are reliable but pretty boring, Ford Wild Track looks tough but not really for city driving. In fact all those with ladder frame and leaf spring rear suspension aren't too smart in the wet nor comfortable. Love to keep my Commodore ute forever but nothing last forever as sometimes accident happens. Just hope that when the time comes, there are similar vehicles available as the current Commodore ute.

Don’t worry when yours is all worn out and sitting on the pile at Sims metal there will be other commodore utes that owners have kept as low km, garaged and pampered. Just buy one of them and use it hard until it’s on the pile at sims metal. Then keep doing the same again until retirement age.
