Russman Member 38 Member For: 15y 3m 5d Posted 03/02/10 10:35 AM Author Share Posted 03/02/10 10:35 AM Looks like my decision may be made for me. They don't have the boss V8's comming in anymore and you can't get XR8's anymore. Maybe the rumoured new 5ltr 307kw V8 will be worth waiting for?

BLK6T Member 305 Member For: 20y 6m 21d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 04/02/10 02:12 AM Share Posted 04/02/10 02:12 AM I see heaps more XR8 utes than turbos from B series to FG. It must be the mentality of a ute must have an 8 or a lot of older guys just think that 8's are better suited to towing and carrying loads, which their probably right.

Posted 04/02/10 08:14 AM Share Posted 04/02/10 08:14 AM A manual turbo ute will only tow 1.6T, its pretty sh*t. The autos can get the heavy duty kit only.

Russman Member 38 Member For: 15y 3m 5d Posted 04/02/10 10:18 PM Author Share Posted 04/02/10 10:18 PM Yeah man up and move the gears yourself haha.Seriously though I just like driving the manuals better. I may get the leveling kit as an extra though. Even though it wont be rated like the auto.

Russman Member 38 Member For: 15y 3m 5d Posted 08/02/10 12:00 PM Author Share Posted 08/02/10 12:00 PM Well I ended up getting the turbo. Too good of a deal to pass up.Dash (bright green), hard lid, h/d tow bar, tint and a few little extra's. Can't wait to get it in a week.I'll update on the towing capabilities when I do it.
