[QUOTE="Dogmatic, post: 97194, member: 156"] If I was buying a dual cab ute tomorrow it would be the Mazda BT50 or the Ford Ranger (both the same car) which one I picked would depend on who gave me the best price out of these two. I have heard bad press on the Colarados, but I guess that can just depends on who you talk to. For towing and wet conditions I would stay well away from the Amarok. We now have them at work and as a result I would not buy one. Their braking (ABS) leaves a lot to be desired. In slippery conditions you may as well say there are no brakes. Have had to use the hand brake to pull up. They updated the computer to try and rectify this but it made no difference. Due to the damage incurred from using these to tow we are no longer allowed to tow with them. After a couple of weeks they failed badly doing what the Cruisers had been doing for years with no problems. Unfortunately we had to go to the Amarok because of their ANCAP rating. :/ Sadly a high ANCAP rating does nothing for their ability. Prior to getting these at work I was interested in getting one for myself. Glad I didn't. [/QUOTE]
