I was gonn say that I like this one the best...
If they bring it over here I'm sure it wouldn't have any problems selling. Heck it would probably be compared to the Lightning even though they are very different. What do these bad boys run in the 1/4? Are they slower than the Monaros down under? Ude/AnthonyHSV care to comment?

Has same output has the SS ute(315hp) They are about the same weight.
Don't know the times for the maloo ute. However it has the 350hp version of the gen3.

i was thinkin ex the s-10, but i dont know, thats a good selling truck
and of course what chassis it would be on..

From what I gather, the business case for bringing the UTE over here was extremely easy till the tariffs came up.

1. its built of a Car body could it get through a loop hole?
2. US & Australia are working on a free trade agreement so that 25% Tariff will be mute issue..
(if the agreement goes ahead)

2. I think that would open the US market to alot of excellent vehicles (ie: the 5.4 DOHC Boss Falcon UTE!).

Sorry to burst your bubble but...
It was a special editon HRT styled Maloo and came with a LS6...
They also had a boat that had a LS1 engine you could get in the same package. (I think from memory the boat trailer was styled only the lines of the HRT Ute..
