Glimited Member 2 Member For: 11y 1m 21d Posted 22/08/14 02:32 PM Share Posted 22/08/14 02:32 PM (edited) Hello,Let me start first by saying I am a long time reader first time poster. (Go easy ) I am looking at getting an fg turbo ute but have some picky wants when it comes to choosing the right one. I have found the Utes to be rare when it comes to finding one with the luxury pack and being manual in a colour that I would like. (Black, white, ego) although there are more floating about with the zf gear box.I know we all don't want to turn this into a auto vs manual thread, but was wondering if I could get people's opinion on is the colour icc/leather worth the wait. Thanks for your time.Tom Edited 22/08/14 02:33 PM by Glimited Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89036-worth-the-wait/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked into the series 2 FG? They all have the bigger touch screen. And auto vs man. Just drive both and see what you prefer, me personally I have the ZF and I like it.

I have looked at the series 2 but am unfortunately on a budget that I don't think will allow. I'll still keep an eye out. As I said, I don't want to rush into buying something then a month later realise I should have waited a bit longer,Cheers TomIn all honesty the colour screen is worth it big time!
