And the fucking useless radio, I itching atFoqrd on that, think ill gets Mazda radio fitted! 18 k and I still think yeah this is nice, and I've owned about25 new cars in my life, used to wreck them repping! 70 ks a year usually. IMHO Ford has the engine sorted!

I havent driven the new Ford,The old man has and loved the motor hated the gearbox(6spd manual) .Company he has a lot to do with had one of the early demos, lined em new ford and his old Colorado.
Colorado won simply becase the ford spent more time with the clucth disengaged.
That demo went back with clutch issues and gearbox issues if I recall correctly, however both problems are common to all our popular modern utes cos they are to bloody high geared trying to get the open road fuel economy.
He bought a new Colorado.

Boss is about to upgrade shagger to a Ford so should drive one soon.

I had a 2009 Colorado auto, did 100 is in it, great vehicle, handled well and nice to drive. Didn't buy awe one because of that 2.8 engine, they just haven't got it right and the vibration in the drive train, common I believe, the blue tooth is evidently really poor. I think the finish over all better than the ford, but glad I didn't get one, that 5 cylinder motor is bloody good and I get between 8.3 and 8.8 is per 100 out of it. But in saying that guy up the road has a very expensive Wildtrack and he has shit loads of electrical probs, Friday car me thinks
