The falcon utes are still a popular option for work vehicles imo, Holden should have not dropped the one tonner. I know I'd proabably have a tonner now if they had offered it.
It is not so much the payload that limits holden utes for work I reckon, its the fact that you f*ck the sides if you aren't careful.
I'm not a tradie, but I carry a small amount around everyday for work, like irrigation gear, paint, ladders from time to time and basic tools. Its not heavy but it wouldn't fit in a dual cab either.
Many people who carry the heavy loads your talking about use builders trailers anyway, to my view a builders trailer, a diesel 4wd wagon and roof rack is the ultimate work combo.
As for me I'm considering looking at an older holden or ford that I can set up for work only, sick of filling up my good car with mud, sweat and scratches.
Here's your problem. The import 4wd's are not a car that you buy because you love the look of them or that you particularly care about whether or not it gets dirty, dinged or scratched. Where as your commodore is something that you care about. Henceforth your not going to want to take your pride and joy and risk it at work everyday. Maybe they are too nice for their own good?
