Ironically, none of the F trucks getting around here are cowboy rigs, most have a nice paintjob (for some reason there's 5 or 6 purple and pink ones :S) it's all clapped out WB shitheaps or the new trend of 'cowboying' up a late 90s model Rodeo or Courier.

I've also seen an XF ute with one of those flaps on the end of the exhaust which shuts unless under load, like some trucks have, and I've seen the driver deliberately ramming trolleys in it in carparks late at night, must be practicing for running down roos or something :mad:

I saw a sticker on the back of one of these Muppets Utes the other day....it read, "Real Aussies drive Holden Utes"

The sticker was on the back of a Rodeo.... ;)

Last time I checked, Rodeos were made by Holden! They dont just make bommodores y'know :P

A young dude (P-Plater) who works with me has his Rodeo tricked out with 'Stacks'. He said it cost him just under 2 grand to have them installed. I lol'd.

Ill get a pic next time I see it.

lol sick burn.

I've seen a ~20 year old single cab Rodeo mocked up to look like a Prime mover, complete with lights, perspex bug protector over the bonnet, lights, rear view mirrors, stacks, flaps and a turntable on the tray! Wish i had a pic lol. The owner apparently went into a local truck place to see if he could get Jake brakes fitted as well roflmao.

I have also seen a Datsun 1200 ute done up as a B&S rig, I felt sorry for a decent old ute being tarted up like a tawdry middle aged hooker :)

But they have Holden badges yes or no?

Not all Rodeos are Isuzus.

Holden Rodeos are sold by Holden = General Motors (GM) subsidiary company

The Rodeo was built by Isuzu between 1980 and 2008, being replaced by the Holden Colorado.

Other GM Subsidiary Companies are:

GM Isuzu (Japan)

GM Opel (Europe)

GM Vauxhall (England)

All under the GM Umbrella

I think that's how it works..?

Holden dont make anything on there own, they use some else's engine, gear box, diff and styling, now take a look at ford, the 6cyl engine is all aussie, the chassis is all aussie and used as a platform for other models and the body design is all aussie, the v8's are yank but who cares about them anyway xr6t FTW.

probly why Holden build a better car :P

Holden started life as coach builders re-bodying other peoples product, why change after all these years?

They do make a good Daewoo's though, i'll give them that.

Did I just get that arse about?

GM(H)<<< generic marketing.

Even the torana was Albanian..Jk's, It started out as a vauxhall of course.
