Could someone tell me the model of the all wheel drive ute. Do they still make them, are they any good. I like the idea of that little more clearance and the safety factor on muddy roads. Giving up the old HQ.

They were only made in VYII, VYII1/2 and VZ. Called Cross 8 in twin cab only, and Cross 6 in twin cab or 1-tonner. I just bought an 05/05 VZ Cross 8. Goes OK. Gets good traction on slippery surfaces.

I paid $28,200 plus GST for my 05/05 VZ with leather trim. Try to stick with VZ as they have better engines in both V6 and V8. VZ was released in all models in 8/04 but not in Cross 8 until about april 05, although I think the VY still got VZ running gear |

It looks like the cross6 and normal crewman only came with the lower kw v6. Yet you can get the 190kw dual variable cam on the adventura and the sv6 ute. I wanted to do a factory order crewmman with the 190kw and a long range tank but they wouldnt do it.

I wanted a Cross 8 1-tonner, but again Holden didn't deliver. The Cross 8 crewman does have a 2500kg towing capacity though.
On the Cross 8 thing, I just bought and fitted a factory auxiliary transmission cooler. The instructions refer to a special too |
