Additional features and a vastly improved Duramax 2 Turbo Diesel engine with more power and torque and a six speed auto transmission have led to the Colorado, by the slimmest of margins, winning 2013 4WD Dual Cab Ute Award.
The Colorado retains its pleasant external shape and has some new colours, namely the vibrant Sizzle Orange which is certainly noticeable on the road. One thing Holden has done extremely well is the range of original equipment accessories that complement the Colorado. The new Holden Alloy SuperBar certainly looks the part with its aggressive lines that complement an already great looking front end.
Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director
Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.
Alan Finlay is a great friend of the program and is a respected traffic engineer and transport planner. His family has had twelve Holdens over the years with a predominance in the early part, I believe. [Read More]
