carting even 4 cubes of firewood over a 4 hour round trip will see you losing money hand over fist, unless yuo are getting bloody good money for it.

Its Manuka Tea Tree and im not selling per metre, selling bagged. FG Falcon is sounding like a good choice, seems that not many BF utes have 6 speeds

The Falcon is a lousy idea get a Diesel Ranger not a play ute working the Falcon at it absolute capacity will kill it real quick and 3 meters of anything is well past a Falcon tow rating

So the likes of 487729583 would be good! Are the 4wd Rangers gearboxes more prone to wear! Beter to stick 2wd! Won't really be needing 4wd but nice to have if needed.

Prefer the room of xtra cab, most of the single cabs seem to have a 2.5 instead of 3!

taipan4 we never had any problems towing with our BA, had the ute for 5 years and it was brilliant.Towed vehicles around the country and frequently towed the trailer with firewood etc on it. The only reason we havent still got our ute is we wanted a bigger car, so we have a V8 fairmont.Now we miss our ute.

As with a lot of your posts you really don't have a clue. You are guessing and you are mostly wrong.

the rangers are 3.0 liter. (except for the poverty pack single cab, stay away from those) the couriers are not great. cracked heads and RUBBISH gearboxes. the Rangers are a better buy long term.

You keep picking on my posts and hiding behind another account. I know you don't like me, it's OK, I don't mind, carry on trolling.

sorry i forgot they put that 2.5 in the single cabs
fordcrzy,

the single cabs have the courier gearbox and the 2.5 engine. stay away from those. the extra cab and double cab get a LOAD of extras that the single cab doesnt.like airbags/abs imporvements heavy duty gearbox etc etc they are much better buy long term.
