Holden vs Ford V8 ute
For a V8 auto ute I would definitely go for the Holden. Ford has given up on developing the Falcon but Holden is still committed to the Commodore and keeping it fresh and relevant.
Future classic: Ford Falcon XR8 vs Ford Mustang
I can’t see any XR8 going up in value, so you should buy the car you want to own and drive. For me, the Mustang will be better on that front.
Are SUVs as safe as other cars?
You are right that SUVs are more prone to a rollover, but it's not tested under ANCAP and the electronic stability control compulsory in Australia is partly intended to reduce the chance of any vehicle running off the road.
LPG Falcon cleaner than a diesel?
It's possible, but until we know more about the shenanigans that went on at VW we can't say how dirty the diesel VWs are.
Ford recall repair taking too long
It's clearly frustrating and unacceptable. You are right, the diffs should have been available when you took the ute in and it should have been replaced that day. I'm sure if you really pressed hard you would find that someone would eventually respond and trace the diff. All you can do right now is to maintain the rage and keep putting pressure on until you get the result you want.
Holden Commodore: Tall children
Based on your height alone I'd say the Commodore will be a better fit. And why not enjoy an Aussie V8 before they're gone?
Ford Falcon: Water damage
If the engine is running fine there is no damage. As soon as water gets into a combustion chamber it does the damage, as it is impressible and can wreak havoc with things like valves and even connecting rods.
Ford Falcon: Column shift
Ford has a column change available as a not-cost option on its ute, but none of its passenger cars.
Ford Falcon: What's a good replacement for towing?
If you like the Falcon, why not get another one? It's not dead yet and a new one will serve you well for some years. Otherwise, look at the Chrysler 300C.
