 Oh and of course, if the gaps were fixed too. lol Also, holy Mc s*** , that EB GT ute is sex on wheels.  :

The normal BA ute is rated to about 500 kilos. Even the tunners bend if u put a tun in em, have seen half a dozen allready at the panel shop.....What they say they take an do seems not quite right.

Nah its likely. They never handle the rated capacity on a daily basis. It must be like PMPO on speakers. |

The standard Xl ute / xls ute is rated at 750 KG payload, this is effected by many factors including styleside/tray weight, the better way of looking at it is the gross weight particularly of axle weights, the 1 Tonner is rated at a payload of 1000kg but there is allowances for tray The Ba and the Au ute for that matter have a chassis designed for one tonne, the weak link if you want to call it is the wheel tyre package which was rectified with the move to 16inch wheel package, this (through higher tyre ratings) enabled a higher gross weight to be specified on the cars. They are designed to carry the payload but if you intend to carry it constantly an upgrade of the rear suspension is a good idea. Having a BA ute carrying a constant weight and having completed over 120 000 km in the last two years, having my previous ute AU2 carrying the similar load for the previous 2 years I can speak from experience that they do NOT fold up. I have an additional leaf and had it reset and it does not even look like it is loaded. Front axle weight 1020kg rear 1730 KG drive it every day.

xagtcoupe: your as biased as they come prehistoric days are number were now 2006 majority drive e series and majority drive the ea's before the eb'ed ef's etc
fact of life ea lighter then ef ea runs as quick of a qtr then ef ea has 30kws less at the fly and still runs a similar time etc so whats your point about cars being ugly,its each to their own i reckon, and some of these are quite nice,but i guess you cant teach a old dog new tricks can we :P |

I was gonna post up the "EA/ED sprint tonner" that EB GT ute is a work of art and a credit to the builder and owner
btw xagt coupe what is the load rating on your rodeo compare to the falcon im sure it cannot be much more ubt id say it would handle the day to day hauling of loads because it has its roots as being a work ute whereas the falcon isnt was never built to be a work horse ford just integrates the workhorse/daily driver utes XA GT351 your just showing your age eseries are great carsand probably aged better then you

You all still miss my point. It's my personal opinion!!!!!!!!!!
GET OVA IT!!! I HATE EA's, I THINK THEY ARE UGLY PIECES OF SHYTE.....I will neva apologise for stating my thoughts. In my opinion, (Looks wise) Great Falcons stopped bein built with the XB GT in 76, and then went more down hill when the xf came out. As for EA's bein great cars, in looks or mechanical quality, we will have to agree to disagree. Looks wise they do nothing for me, mechanically they are turds as soon as things start playin up on them.
