Ute for road bike

[dadat178]

Is there a particular year / model falcon or commodore ute that can fit a road bike in the tub, straight, with back up? I measured a few in car yards, they all seem different.

Most Utes are about 1.8m aren't they? You'd need one that's probably 2.4m which is usually the tray types.

I reckon 2.2 should do, and I don't want the height of a tray so loading is easy.

Thanks, do you know which year(s) came with that? Or was it an option for any year?

I was pleasantly surprised you could too!

I was pleasantly surprised you could too! I like to see you wheel my old Suzuki up that ramp and on to your ute .

Motoring it up wasn't too bad, with the older ramp on one side to walk up.
Not sure I could push anything up it tho!

They are ex-ambos that were made into utes if I'm not mistaken... Wetty has one of them. We also had one at this placed I worked. Terrible turning circle but could fit heaps and then some.

Great idea but I need to be able to tow at the same time ...

You can get tow bar extensions if you're worried about clearance I guess.
It was just generally for the ideas pot as to what's possible. You'll know what exactly you're solving for :)
