Nice review Sam. Thoughtful commentary on the three utes and nice footage of them in wet conditions too. Well done and thank you to you and the team that put this together.

It feels like HSV weren't sure what to do with the Colorado and their inexperience with 4wd doesn't help. It's almost as if they wanted to make it for the race track with it's firmer suspension.

Good Video - and i totally agree, the Ford Ranger Raptor is the best truck i ever drove. I just had a perfect winter test, riding it on snow and ice. The Raptor pulled through everything perfectly and safe, while we saw many other cars having major problems. Perfect choice - if you can live with the reduced payload and towing capacitiy.

@@farzana6676 what are YOU talking about? I wasn't talking about the F150. I'm saying the Ranger has long abandoned its roots. It used to be small-almost as small as the El Camino. Pick up trucks designed to deliver small items, a job also shared by the El Camino, are gone. The T6 Ranger, not the Raptor model, is 80% the size of the F150 now. It's only a few mm smaller in height and only 3/4 of a wheel arch shorter. The Maverick, which should be even smaller, is only a bumper's length shorter than the Ranger. I'm not arguing against the marketability of the F150, because its size and capacity are perfect for its use. The Ranger is nowhere near small now. It can barely fit an alley without scraping the body; something the old, "little dinky" model used to be. The Ranger is way too large for what little it, and especially the Raptor model, is rated to do.

For heavy towing the Colorado. It does this very well. The firmer suspension is what you need. Much better more reliable gearbox as well. Good reliable engine. Mine is rated to carry 1 ton in the rear. This is more than the rest. The HSV has better brakes which it needed.

Raptor for me real soon here in the PH!

Raptor has the best overall technology. Ideal for any terrains. For the looks I'd go for the navara. Raptor and Navara are my top pick.

that rear on the colorado " i want to be an f150,no one will know in austrailia "

After nearly a year of driving it here in Spain, I can only say that it is a great car. And when I went to the dealer to buy one. There was an oficial waiting list of around 8 months. But after some negotiation I got one, non registerd, in 8 days. I did get an additional piggy-back ECU and throttle control system. With 7+1 maps(last one being by-pass to stock). Which was developed and tested in Germany to pop out 256HP and 656(!)Nm. Still need to do an app controlled 0-100 timing test to get an indication of the 0-100kph time. But it will be under 10 seconds when Ifeel the difference between standard and max modes. As tyres do sqeek by just flooring the pedal during stepfoot speed of app 5kmh in rear wheel drive. For a diesel with lower range torque. Paired with a 10-speed gearbox. It does move. And the sensation is also felt as you know your bringin 2500kg plus kg in motion. Yes, it is more expensive but it comes with nearly all options as standard. Bed cover, towing bar. etc. Tyres are also great and not extremely expensive as people think. High thread and large rolling distance per revolution make it wear less. And other main price factor is usually the max speed limits in combination with low profile side walls. Which for a Raptor doesn't need to be high speed rated. A second level T-spec tyre for 190kmh max is enough. For Europe it is great. As we do have a lot of unpaved tracks here. And no real obstacle heavy tracks. For which a G-class with short wheel base would probably be the best option to go for. Some additional info is that Fox shocks make it drive like a limousine until really pushing it on unpaved roads. As it is rather soft in the normal user range. Andwith it's weight and big balloon tires I can laugh at even the most high specced Range Rover HSE. Several have tried to show me that they are quicker off the line. But that's only short liven satisfaction for them. As they will have to break hard for the first speed bumps due to 1 level suspension and low tyres. So when their wheel reaches the bumps they just find me jumping next to them whil driving in cruise control at 100kmh. Also your comment about the gear box is no problem. As it shifts faster in SPorts mode and also runs higher revs. The only thing I plan to add is a front camera as it is difficult to judge distance during parking. But I have bought 25 euros of parts to add a camera to the Sync 3 system. But didn't get around in installing it due to all covid period and efforts to keep my bussineses open. But as a technician I am confident that it will work and isn't even too hard to wire and install. SO I will get it to work first to present my sollution.Best of all. Until now I have only seen Raptors at the dealerships, or driven by test journalists. So after a good clean it will still hold a strong value. More given the fact that it isn't a newly developed car. But just an improved version of one of the most reliable and sold cars in the world. I have no regrets at all. And my 8 year old son solves the endless questions from viewers. Who still give both thumbs up when they see me. It's like a nice south american womans rear. Some look you straight in the face and smile, while others look away and turn their heads after you psass them. LOL.
