I'll be clear up front, I am not knocking dual cabs, it is just the ownership of this dual cab over the last 5 years has had too many compromises.
Some of the things that we have found over the last 5 years with it are;
- If we have bought anything of size, we have found that it will not fit into the dual cab and I have had to go back with the Falcon ute and pick it up.
- We permanently have two car seats in the back seat so there is not a lot of room left. When the wife goes grocery shopping, she finds it difficult to undo and do up the tonneau cover. Also the shopping slides around in the tub and she has to half climb into the tub area to retrieve it.
- Speaking of shopping, the wife does not like the idea of putting our food in the same place where some sort of funky stuff that I took the dump was sitting the previous day.
I'll leave it at three. If I was to list everything people would get bored or see the size of the post and not read it at all.
We are sort of in the market for a new car with the only thing holding us back is waiting times for new cars, yes, I am impatient and not willing to wait 12 months for anything.
Our next car will most likely not be a dual cab. |
What can you replace it with that can do point 1?
What will take both car seats and have room for the shopping that can also cover point 1?
Whatever you buy will still come with compromises, there is no 1 box ticks all if it needs to be able to fit 2 seats with enough room for shopping that has enough boot space to accommodate something that only a Falcon ute could and where you going to put that funky stuff now?
Surely a dualcab with a canopy covers the seats and shopping with a trailer or your Falcon ute for the big or funky items.
