All start with the highly successful Commodore passenger car platform -- long wheelbase wagon to be exact. Which means Alloytec 3.6-litre V6 or Gen III 5.7-litre V8 under the bonnet; a range of four speed automatic and six-speed manual gearboxes, and rear wheel drive.From there the styleside ute offers a deep tray with body-side panels painted to match the two-door cabin.
The One-tonner eschews these stylish niceties for the overt practicality of a box-type aluminium tray with increased load carrying (both size and weight), and drop-down sides.The Crewman continues this two-tray theme, but begins with a four-door, five-seat cabin. The VZ generation is the first time Crewman has also offered the utilitiarian aluminium tray as an alternative to the body-side tray.
Everything from the doors, dashboard, instrument cluster, steering wheel and front seats are all basically carryover from the sedan and wagon. They're also mostly carryover from the previous model VY, since most of the development budget went to the new engine and transmission choices.Electric window switches, remote door locks, CD stereo and cruise are also carryover and come standard on all models. Air con is standard on all bar the base model in each range.
Holden's cushy steering wheel is adjustable for height and reach, and the seat slides, tilts and elevates, making for a very comfortable cabin. There's a couple of cupholders behind the gear selector for house keys, mobile, etc, and a deep bin under the centre armrest. There's a decent amount of legroom in the back, and more for the asking if the front seat occupant compromises A new master cylinder and brake booster are said to decrease stopping distances by around four per cent.
Hydraulic Brake Assist -- which senses a panic stop and 'assists' the driver with maximum braking -- follows the same fitment protocol as ABS All four-door Crewmans get twin front airbags standard, front-side airbagsl on Crewman and S, standard on SS. Driver's airbag is standard on Ute and One-tonnerIt's mated to a new-generation six-speed manual gearbox,All V6 and V8 models now feature Holden's electronic throttle system.
