That's an odd pickup...

Hello. While looking through a children's book that shows a few pictures of a few different cars, I came accross this one. Does anyone know who makes it? I think it looks kind of neat.

Re: That's an odd pickup...

yes, that's the Holden Ute, I don't think it's an S pack, looks like a SS.

Re: That's an odd pickup...

if you think that looks good, you should check out the engine, the SS series are a 5.7 V8.

The Holden HSV Avalanche is a fucking BEAST. It's HUGE. Not a truck, not as big as a Ford f-250, it's a ute, but like an airoplane ute, ya know, it's awesome, I was sitting in one today

Click on the bottom right pic "Avalanche XUV", that's the shit, and opposite, the Maloo, all fucking awesome HSV Holdens.
