cant do the 10th but im interested also
i also had a vy ss ute before trading to the liberty
your right about the power difference but the handling is so much better in the libs im driving a 2.5i aswell
my ute was only stock but i had a 1 tonner so the back end was even lighter than a normal ute
it was uncontrollable on wet roads had to pussy foot it everywhere
i live in the hills also so it wasnt a good combo
now i love driving in rainy weather i dont have to be tentative on the throttle going uphill anymore
