Yep, got one last year, performs well for us. Remember, they are a work ute not a luxury 4wd cruiser, basic but practical.

Sorry just read Pete's comment and yes it is like a work horse but with some good comfort and mod cons inside as well.

had our manual since Dec and love it - tows our 3+ ton van very well. B/w Port Augusta and Renmark (via Clare Valley) we used 14.5 lt/100 K's - towing about 85k's/hr. Worst we've had is 18lts per 100k's with a side wind and using cruise control.

Love my auto Collie auto towing 2470Kg (270KG BW). Does it easily.
But would I be happy with it towing 3500Kg. Hmmm.
But then again there isn't any mid size twin cab or ute that I'd happily tow 3500Kg with.
