Thor2DaCore Donating Members 35 Member For: 13y 5m 1d Posted 03/08/11 08:06 AM Share Posted 03/08/11 08:06 AM Hi everyone.I am in the market for a BF XR6T ute and have found a few in my state that I am interested in. I had put a restriction on only BFII or later utes but have found a nice one close by that ticks all the boxes. The only thing is that it's Mk1 and made in April 06. As I understand it, it won't have the Typhoon engine internals which will help reliability down the track. It has the 6 speed which is great and the reason I looked at only BF's and later.My questions are; what are the differences between MkI and MkII other than the Typhoon rods etc? Does the appearance of the vehicle change? It has low kms (less than 50k) and has complete log books. I will not be modding it for performance, only to add aftermarket audio and perhaps wheels. What should I look out for when inspecting the ute?I am dirty after missing out on a similar ute. Was a BFII with gauges and a few other things and I was a day too late!Any help and advice is appreciated! Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes u do get great deals. They can range from ex-fleet cars, stolen and reprossed. 3 years later and they are still going strong, One now currently pulling over 400rwkw.Just make sure u do all the appropriate checks on the vehicle such as vin/ chassis. They do (depending on the auctioner) offer warranty aswell. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to go bang when you wind them up over mid 300's - that said some have survived less some have survived more. BFII got a different gauge cluster. Someone else will be along shortly to name all the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
