Default Re: Hyundai ute shapes up

My son is a plumber, up until a month ago he was driving a fg ute with a body on the back, just handed it in and asked for 1 of the hiace vans they had ( literally the same year )
Asked him the differences and as he said, the falcon drove better and won the traffic light gran prix over the hilux easily, however for a work car, the hiace flogs the fg without a doubt, space, versatile for tools and equipment, storage of products, racks, plus plastic door trims & floors, storage in the drivers cabin etc, it's a tool, that's all,
My point is this, Franco in a way is right, these are just a tool for a tradie, nothing more and if u think of them that way, cheap and simple is all they need, then it's fine, the boy has had a ranger, hilux, fg and now the hiace.
As he said, if I wanna enjoy driving, he will take a drivers car, not a tradie tool.
