I'm looking at buying another car in the next few months my natural choice would be a Falcon XR8 or XR6 Turbo Ute but my main concerns are that I'm moving to Cairns next year and while I'm not looking at doing serious off-roading (thats what trail bikes are for) I do like having a poke down an occasional dirt road and after driving a Hilux around I do enjoy sitting high up.
Something like a PJ 4x4 Ranger could fit the bill offering real off-road ability but I wouldn't mind something with some performance and I have heard that owning a diesel 4x4 is expensive to run especially if something goes wrong? What about a Territory Turbo? They seem to offer performance in a high riding spacious package. Are they actually much better than a Falcon Ute off road? Is the AWD system any good? Are they too much of a mums car? What about reliability I have heard horror stories of the suspension collapsing at 50,000 kays??? Finally I know this is a Ford Forum but what about the Jeep V8's? And on that matter as years have passed is the reputation of the Ford "exploder" still ringing true? |
