This week's episode sits more on the rare side of the world for the car scene. Holden is a car manufacturer that Australia was once proud to call their own. They produced cars for over 100 years, but in the 2000s they turned a commonly used utility truck into a monster of the streets. The Holden UTE for almost 2 decades put smiles on almost anyone who came across one. It's weird, it looks like something that belongs on a farm, but take a ride in one and you be telling people you want to own a Holden UTE.

If you could buy a Holden UTE today, would you? If you already have one, find all your wheels, tires, and suspension here! bit.ly/36WGUoj
Since I can't buy one in the states guess I gotta take a sawzall to a pontiac g8
I Have A Vz Maloo
already had one.. ty
Yes and Yes!
as an aussie with a ute this is a good video,, also i would love you guys to help me build it with some nice wheels and suspension. if you have anything that could be useful pls let me know
As an Australian I can confirm that these cars are everywhere
Fact
Kinda I live in Cali n i haven't seen one
True
Plenty at the wreckers to 😂.
Vy ss ute ownerrrr 👍
As an Australian, I would have thought I'd never see the day that these cars made it onto So You Want. Just need a Bundy in one hand while driving
As an Australian, That intro kinda triggered me haha
Haha you know they don’t have bundy over there to lmao
OP Rum or piss off.
@@Trick3y007 No I didn't, But I gathered no one would understand haha
Defo bush chooks instead
Don't touch our cars Ive seen what you've done to Japan
right hahaha
I can also confirm that the HSV GTOs looks shit all over the Pontiac GTO that the US market got.
@MKULTRA the ignorance is real
@MKULTRAatleast say rebadged chevy as youd be getting somewhere close to a joke then. If anything, Pontiacs are rebadged Holdens..

I miss Adelaide motoring. Coming from Semaphore here.
Brother!! Both my parents and both my grandparents worked there!! 😂😂
@@tristanmacgillvray what’s the fastest Holden made? Do you know how I can import one to the US?
“Maloo” is the Aboriginal word for “Thunder”
This is my silly statement. Back on the early 2000s holden had the ss thunder. Ford had the xr8 lightning. Reason being, lightning comes before thunder.
@Stephen j ehhh, the holden and ford sixes are better than the trash in american 6cyl muscle cars
Tru dat
@@Greg.... did not ever realise this. Don't tell anyone else, but we Holden dudes know an xr6t will give the LS a scare erryday of the week 😂
@@WTRGK the Ford Barra was excellent yeah, but the Ecotec is a boat anchor for power, the older Holden V6 was good, but emissions rules and attempts to make it less thirsty killed it's potential. The "Buick" V6 as they called it was a bucket of shit for power, the alloytec was ok but no torque, owned two of both of them... before buying my Ute. I always hoped Holden would get the twin turbo variation that GM put in the caddies of the time tho but sadly of course no, because Holden couldn't have something Caddy had, it would cheapen the brand.
But! GM has registered the Caddy trademark in Aus...so we might still get a cool sedan back in the long term. 🤞
The Chevy SS is the Holden Commodore SSV made left hand drive. Still aussie just swapped.
@Gus Johnson this is the most inaccurate thing you’ve ever said. The Ute has no place in America due to the battle of the trucks here.
@@JosephNnbs drive a Holden ute. Believe me, they have a place. They’re very quick
@@MrDOHC1JZ you don’t have to tell me. It’s been my dream car since I was a little one. But here in America the automakers main focus was domestic full-size truck war. The hilux showed up and threw off their whole game. Then came the Nissans and Chevy luv s10 ranger etc
Hahaha nah bro Chevrolet stole Holden
@@JosephNnbs Think corvette performance in a two seat sports car with a giant boot. I've driven Ram and Silverado and they're trucks not fast cross country racers. Utes are.

@@pepeuters7647 very lucky! Thanks for sharing. Glad there is ONE eruopean who can appreciate a Holden.
Imagine if GM actually didn’t screw this up
We would have actually had new utes in America
El caminos.. can't believe they missed out on this
I believe the El Camino didn't sell well in the States. Too small for work, not practical as a car. In Australia it was selling like hotcakes because tradesmen who needed a truck bed, but not a full truck. America preferred minitrucks like the S10.
If GM didn’t screw this up we would’ve still had Holden down here.. but nooo
Well they where being made for like 50 years so I doubt you guys would have gotten them if you hadn’t already
Yeah, I doubt we would have had them. I mean, to me they're cool. I drive a little crz so it's a two seater already. It would be cool to have a place to put something completely separate of where people sit.
I've had one for the last 12 years, it's been "enhanced", otr intake, full exhaust system, tune, next it's a supercharger. it's pure pleasure to drive, it's a sports car with a big boot. I have other cars too, but the ute is my favorite drive.
As a proud Aussie 19 year old Commodore owner, it puts a huge smile on my face seeing our beloved Holden cars being recognised world wide :) nothing better than pulling up to the lights with a rumbling v8 ute and hearing it take off 😩👌🏼
My ute puts a smile on my face every time I take it out, I live in the Isle of Man....
Fkn amazing stuff mate love to hear it 👍🏼 Holden has been discontinued so sadly it’s the end of an era ):
@@bradpennington2544 Great shame, the GM and the Government screwed up big style. It's hard to think that Holden are no more, the Holdens I grew up with will be the only ones from now on.
I was JUST watching holden on donut media .
Yes I do. They only pick up I would actually buy
Have you seen the (ford falcon) XR6 turbo utes?
@@cooper_jay_studios
Come to Australia, commodores and falcons make up like 40% of the vehicles here. 😂
@@jacobday3826 second that kinda thought it was funny how people think they are exciting vehicles cause u see them every day
Some of the best ones are specified as a hsv which is a division where they sell the best of the holdens it stands for Holden special vehicles and the latest gtsr Maloo which stoped production in 2018 makes I think around 650hp from an lsa their insane
They’re called a Ute not a pick up
Ford Australia made some pretty cool Utes over the years too
Part 17 of asking for what no one else will... “So You Want A Hyundai Tiburon”
No, still no
@@fuckngreat8955 very cool
Absolutely!
YES
I had one, they're alright. Basically an XD Elantra but with a V6 and a sporty body. The engine sounds neat with the right exhaust but it's underwhelmingly slow and wrong-wheel drive.
But I'd definitely own another one if I could find a GK1FL with a Beta in it. Sadly they didn't release the Betas here in GK1FL form.
Ford had their direct equivalent called the falcon. You could option them with a 4L turbo Inline 6 or a supercharged 5L v8. Ford vs Holden is a big deal as well.
Had an elcamino "The El C" put my 900rr in the back with my mullet in the wind, would now love to own a UTE!!
As an Aussie with a Ute, loved this video, I have a 2012 VE SS Ute with just under 500hp
I couldn’t imagine a life without Holden
All I want for christmas is ''So you want a BMW E34''
As an Aussie id love to see you guys do a video on the falcon /falcon ute. Its less popular worldwide but is soo good
We also have a sedan (which is the one I own myself) and a wagon variant here in Australia, ranging from 3L V6 all the way to 6.2L super charged V8 making 635HP
It's currently 1 am and I have exams tomorrow, but will that stop me from watching this? HELL NO!

Eh I made it to the channel😅🤟 cheers for the plug.. loved that Supercharged Holden ute 🥵🇦🇺
Ross Reviews blowing up. That was a skits ute
100% #legend!
As an owner of 2 Holden Ute's I can confirm, you lot really did miss out on something great
UTE isn't specifically Holden, its a chassis base of a car. These Holden variants of Ute's were called Maloo's or Commodores
well holden and ford have the ute but holden called it the ute not the commodore, the commodore is a sedan the ute is called the holden ute or some people here in aus call it the commodore ute, and the maloo is the hsv version of the ute
@@EnVyRe4per that doesn’t explain the commodore badges on the both variants, or the vehicle being a commodore on registration papers
@@Everybeerd it kinda does
Didn’t Australia invent the Ute?
I’ve never owned a cuv or suv. Always cars and usually sedans. I love cars and I love sedan bodies specially big body cars.
Actually... The El Camino was available from 1959 to 1960, and 1964 to 1987. They didn't stop making them in the 70's. Lol. 😉
when is this gonna happen.
"so u wanna do a barra swap ? "
Bahahahahah
A Barra Swap is already available for second gen commodores through the Castlemaine Rod Shop. What I really wanna see though is a Barra swap for fourth gens.
Or just buy a Ford ute? Lmao
Own a 450rwhp manual V8 SS ute with the L98 engine, the perfect daily, manual aswell turns heads even in Australia where they are very common 😎
Omg! Yaaaaaas, just as I started falling in love with them! Thank you!
🤝
You didn't mention that ford has a ute to here in Australia with a V8 or the I6 Barra engine
cause falcons are ass
Love from Newcastle Australia! didn't think we would get a so u want ahaha
Bro, i’m only like an hour away from you
I love my Holden SSV ute, its been my favourite car to drive so far and dont think ill be getting rid of it any time soon. It got to be the best part of living in Australia.
I have one, it really is a brilliant car. 6 litre v8, manual, lsd, rear wheel drive, low to the ground. 2 seater feels like a sports car, plenty of room behind the seats for random (where I keep sets of clothes, picnic blankets, towels, shoes etc) and a large tray to throw anything in, all while hooning anywhere and everywhere. And as an added bonus, they keep going up in value since Holden closed down.
Keeping it for life.
El Camino officially died in 1987. With a last production cars being shifted to Mexico and final car ended in late 1987. Some debate if there are any 1988 models. About 420 were sold in 1988. My father has a 1985 gmc cabarello. It is cool and worked hard in its life. Now it is a show queen.
Great Video! We had El Camino’s here in Australia when I was a kid in the 70’s. I own a 2011 VE series II Holden Thunder Ute in metallic Poison Ivy Green. Only bad point is you can’t see out the back window because of the huge lip on the hard top. But then again if you’re going fast enough it doesn’t matter 😂. I have had zero issues with my girl. Great highway cars with a ton of options. You can buy a tent attachment here. Lift the back lid and drop the tail gate and it slips over them and turns it into a camper!. Y’all need to import, love and care for these GM cars. They ain’t making any more 🥺 and each one of these lovely ladies needs a good home!
About 25% of vehicles in Australia from the 1950s were UTEs. (Holden and Ford Falcon). They should of released the Holden Malloo in the USA as a sports truck. It would do 170MPH and handled great.
8:45 Good to see my local drift track being featured in this video, sick video btw 👍🏽.
GM needs to put these in the states rebaged as an El Camino. But unfortunately they wouldn't sell.😔
They were going to make a Pontiac G8 ST (sport truck) in 2010. But.... Pontiac got cut.
Welp too bad holden got the cut
No just no
GM needs to go bankrupt; then have every single one of its cars on the road in America explode and everyone get diahorrea.
That's how GM treated us... for not quite 30 years.
dawg they would sell pretty well I know a lot of skills/trade workers would love these including my self
Finally a car I own is featured. VE SS. I love it.
We ALMOST HAD THESE!!!! GM had plans for a new an el camino and it fell through.
So yes I want to haul my stuff in the bed while I haul ass.
It was the Aussie dollar rising too much in value and US vehicle tax laws that stopped it. Holden wouldn't have made enough from them because of the strong Aussie dollar, and it was going to be taxed as a commercial vehicle in the states, so they would have been more expensive than the G8 Holden was selling from the same production line at the time.
@@davidhester6648 well, let's start importing them en masse and get people to.make them left hand drive in the U.S and Canada. And if they can make them all wheel drive as well, even better. I'd love a ford ute in Newfoundland. Left hand drive, lower the power a bit and raise the suspension a fair amount so it's about the height of a station wagon. If I can import any ford/Holden ute, I'd gladly do it
@@Zynet_Eseled why can’t we drive it right hand drive I see a lot of imported car legal with there respected driving locations
@@pontiacmadeg8 canada. We need to modify them to be left hand.
I had a Crewman back in New Zealand, loved it. Im in Canada now, youve inspired me to see whats needed to import one...
had a vt v6, vz v6 crewman, and a ve supercharged v6 utes over the years, loved them, worked their arses off, and easy parts to source in aus.
Lookin forward to the new wheels.😉
About time the rest of the world caught up to knowing how amazing the Holden Malloo was.
Should have been 5 years ago Ito save the company but whatever.
Ute owner here. Aussie. They are great. With the correct amount of cylinders and pedals, will own it till it dies, or I do. Whichever comes first.
White LS3 Ute been my vroom Vroom since 2016. Fast, reliable, comfortable and cool. Great car.
I own the sedan variant and my friends have one with the 5.0L Holden V8 and the other with the LS3, and lemme tell ya, their F/cking sick!!!!!!, just buy them so they can continue to exist
Don’t be dissing the crewie like that 😂
I know right! Fuck seppos can be rude sometimes!
I’m a Chinese living in Australia for 10 years from 2012 when I was 15. Now I’ve owned 2 xr6t utes, HSV e2 maloo and now I’m driving a vf s1 ssv ute! They r just so freaking sick cars to look at
Yooo send us a picture! DM it to either Facebook or Instagram!
Please teach me more about my country I'm loving this thanks mate❤️
as an aussie i must say MAKE ONE ABOUT THE FALCONS
Why? They suck
day 2 of asking for “so you want 14,237 doritos locos tacos from taco bell”
To clear things up for people that dont get it, A commodore is definitely not a G8 or an SS with holden badges... Holden designed and manufactured the Commodore and Ute for Australia and GM rebadged it and swapped the steering over. They came with varying engine sizes, starting with a 5.0l in the 90s, then 5.7, 6.0, 6.2, and even at one point a 7.0l. Utes are notorius for getting wrapped around trees because of the very light rear end and generally very powerful motors.
Great review of an Aussie icon 💯🇦🇺
Day 36 of asking for "So You Want a Cadillac CTS V"
It's not called a Holden Ute, it's called a Holden Commodore. Just a different body. You don't call the wagon version a Holden Wagon, it's a Holden Commodore, wagon body.
Fun fact for americans: The most powerful and last ute to ever come from Holden Special Vehicles, the HSV GTS-R W1 Maloo, came with a supercharged LS9 making 474kw (635 hp)
Got a 2012 Holden ute series 2 V6 stock, and I luv it 🇦🇺
I wouldn't mind owning a Ute. I own a G8. Same thing basically...

My wife is American and she loves the SSV.
FI does an episode on Holden.
Didnt even mention Yeah Bud Simmons as the single only wheel that Holden gets.
Simmons is the only option
Cuz they look good on anything
What do I think of the Holden Ute?
I bloody well own one mate! They're sick. Mine's a VE 1.5 with the 3.6 V6, but fun fact, underneath it's _absolutely identical_ to the 5th gen camaro, even down to the rear subframes being the same. Only difference is the body panels. They share a platform called the Zeta Platform. Just quote Camaro PNs to find the parts you need. Only bits you'll really struggle with on a Ute are the tailshaft (Which you can source from a Caprice PPV) and interior bits (Which you can source the front door trims, centre console, dash parts and any non-specific parts from a G8 and the rest such as the rear panel, carpets and B pillar trims will have to come from Straya.)
In saying that, what's your shipping like to Australia? I'd love to give some of your wheels a crack since I'm looking for something that looks a bit like Work CR Kiwamis but I don't really want to pay CR Kiwami prices for them.
D speed does something similar here but I’m pretty sure it’s ford stud pattern, a lot of FGs run around with em on
Damn the new el camino looking a lil different 😳😳😳
Thanks for the feature 😍
As an Australian who owns a ve Ute. I can confirm they are the best cars ever. You can drive them normally then with a little clutch kick throw the back end and slide into the sunset.
Alex when is that RS6 Avant video Coming 😁
The website he was talking about is LeftHandUtes and they have an active facebook page
I've seen these here in Phoenix, out in Scottsdale a couple years ago.. Good guy, I don't know if he was promoting them or just an owner of one..
Last of the Maloo have LSA motors, prices have increased since production stopped though. Another ute to check out is the Ford Falcon. The Barra turbo made a lot of Holden owners nervous in a drag race.
Interesting to watch you guys make a video on these, as we get them here in no too just as much as Aussie. You should do a video on the falcon/falcon Ute
Im a little late but nonetheless! I’m here to say: So you want a 2nd gen Lexus IS

About time only been on you giys for years
The term ‘ute’ came from the word ‘utility’, and is not limited to Holden or even Ford in Australia and New Zealand. The term relates to vehicles that have car like interiors and comfort on the road, but have the capability for carrying a load as well. Utes come in well deck, flat deck styles and can have canopies too. In many ways even Dodge Ram, Ford F150, Chev 1500 etc are also utes, not ‘trucks’ too. It’s just that these style vehicles in Oz and NZ are more commonly called a Ute.

It was quite a challenge to legally get a Maloo to the U.S. Many speed bumps and expenses we did not see coming. Almost gave up many times. But FOUR YEARS after purchase in Adelaide (by internet), we finally got title / registration in the U.S.... I look back and say I probably would not do it again.

Just remember, Ford built the first Aussie ute in 1934. GM Holden didn’t sell cars until 1948 and utes til 1951. The Ford Falcon ute whips the Holden/commodore ute in every aspect. Local content, Load capacity, interior space, much more rugged and needless to say the almighty Barra! 😄
so you want a mitsubishi galant🥲
My aunt had one. It was tan and she bought it new in 1999. At the end of its life it's bumper cover was tore off, it had a "temporary spare" that was there for years and would probably be a salvage title if any of it was reported to insurance. The thing refused to die tho, and many memories happened in it
Edit: it eventually rear ended someone and was irrepairable
