After nearly 20 years of having a work supplied vehicle, I've bitten the bullet and bought another car.
This one gets used for work as well, but can be setup to better deal with weekend/holiday duties.
2015 Holden Colorado
To date I've added in-dash reverse cam, bullbar, scrub-bars, side steps, snorkel, driving lights, UHF, fridge and slide, 150AH aux battery, canopy, window tint, roofrack and better tires. Still to come when finances permit is a long range tank and possibly beefed up front springs (sits a little nose down since the bullbar went on).
The auto took a little to get used to, I've had about 15 4WD's and they've all been manuals.
I'm rapt in the way it tows both the van and the horse float (SWMBO takes it most weekends with the daughter and her horse). Towing at 100km/h fuel economy is good, but it does suffer if you want to get there quicker.
After a succession of Hilux's it was hard not to buy a Toyota, but so far (9 months) I'm happy with the decision to buy Holden
