Thread: Cross8/crewman.

If its anything like the Adventra the turning circle is bad and the steering is pretty heavey, ours is the v6 and gets 11l/100km but most of that is around town. The front suspension bushes die and that roots all the tyres quick but a set of Nolathane bushes and its pretty good now

Internet search reveals around 15L trieing to be economical and over 20L if pushed....thats cruiser territory but with petrol.

I really like the concept shame Ford didnt make one they might have got it right

Do you need an 8, the 6 is much better on gas, the 11l/100k is mixed but it drops massively on the open road. Not that it is of relevance but I had the Adventra parked beside a Jeep Cherokee at the park the other day, the roof height is the same and the Holden had better ground clearance (yes I know its not a live axle 4wd with low range). I might have to take it down a farm track one day to see how far the traction control will get it.

9 litres per 100km

NO road user charges

6.2 litre

Now if your only using 9L per hundred in a maloo you shouldn't be allowed to own one My jeep would almost use that on start up.

The view out the rear windscreen is pretty woeful.

I have two mates with v6 ones, had them for 6+ years, never had a problem. And one with a SS, owned since new, it lives on gravel roads and is a bit beaten up but handles the abuse. He had to do all suspension bushes and shocks etc within 100,000kms. Other than than that normal maintenance. Been bloody good wagons really.

They're comfortable to drive and ride up front in, very holden, stick on the road nicely.

The only things I don't like about them, rear view vision is poor, and you DON"T want to sit in the back seats like ever - they are poos. We did Wanaka to Chch in mates one, 5 guys, worst most uncomfortable trip ever - worse coming back hungover. And standard ones look GAAAAAAY.

If I were buying one, I would definitely get the V8. Fuel consumption difference between the V6 and V8 is negligible and you can never have enough motor for towing stuff.

I think Josh has summed it up pretty well. I've had a couple ss 2wd crewmans and love them, would have one tomorrow if they still made them. Best utes I've had. In saying that I dragged a boat to French pass and back and the fuel light was on coming back in to town. Mate has a cross8 V8 which is heavy on the fuel but he still wont sell it to me.

Dions one? I thought he traded that on the franger.
Was gonna ask him what he thought of his.
Might have to test drive a 2wd one and see if it will back the boat up the drive.
