Can tell you a fact, these figures are fudged every month.Sorry @Jimbo, have to divert the thread for a second, can't let this go by without response....
Ahhh I love a ford v Holden discussion @stuartcarr2002
Month of October had Holden selling 2000 more cars than Ford, therefore more cars sold, would equate to more popular, and by default the consumer thinks they are better...
And the clanger in your list is Falcon v Commodore ......
Let's see.... 2243 Commodores sold in October, how many Falcons I hear everyone ask,
435........ There are 435 extra sad little falcon drivers running around in October.
Why oh why, sad 435, why did you do it......
I've got this one @Jimbo

The Horsepower Factory here in Melb bought several different brands to test when they were developing their own re-mapping software. The Sales Manager has the Trailhawk version of the Jeep so they tested them all on his car first. Once they'd finished with them they sold them through a Jeep forum and I picked it up from them. They even fitted it for me and threw it onto their 4 wheel dyno and gave me a dyno printout of the power it's making 160kw at all 4 wheels = ~210-215kw, which is bang on what they advertise this chip will do, with 660nm of torque.
Giddy up

Decision made @Holden_man! When Toyota dropped the drive away price to $63990 for the GXL, and said they would fit a colour coded ARB deluxe bar a few hundred dollars cheaper then ARB would do me direct, I pulled the trigger on the Prado.
Had it not been for the price drop, I was leaning towards the Everest. Interestingly, Ford did not want to drop the price on the Everest as they said it was already a good buy. But I have a feeling they will drop soon.
Both of these cars have pro's and cons. I think once Everest has been in the market for a few years and we learn about its reliability and resale, it will be a more compelling argument between the two.

WELCOME TO THE pRADO SIDE...I KNEW WE WOULD TAKE YOU FROM THE REBEL SCUM.......BWAHAHAHAHA
OK was in a hurry forgot caps lock but.....GET THE FREEKIN PRADO..........
Hi @Rockape . I thinkin my mind, I was looking for a 5k difference on Everest. So if ford would of done 59k I would of taken that.
The more I think about it, I think the lack of a track record for Everest, and my ongoing bad experience with my wife's new Focus made me want a discount over Prado.
But if I had an Everest sitting in my driveway, I would still be happy. It looks and drives very well.

Nice work @Tricky.
I picked my Prado up yesterday. It drives better then I remember it in the tests.
