The Holden Colorado Z71 is the ute that traded a necktie for a flanno and never looked back. Its 2.8‑litre turbo-diesel hauls with stout torque, tows up to 3.5 tonnes, and shrugs off corrugations like it’s late for smoko. Steering is light for the class, the ride is workmanlike rather than plush, and the cabin’s leather and decals add bravado without hiding the tradie roots. Tech feels dated by today’s standards, but it’s tough, straightforward, and parts are still easy to find. Fuel use is reasonable for a ladder-frame diesel, and the 6‑speed auto is the pick for relaxed towing. If you want a no‑nonsense Aussie-friendly ute with a bit of swagger, the Z71 still earns a nod—and there are plenty kicking around on Tradingpost if you fancy one.
