These videos usually have Jono with his hilarious facial expressions while his brother has no expression 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 me 😳😳😳 my brother 😕😕😕
@@RossReviewsau Yep... That's pretty accurate!
@@matthewmorshead2594 Well he doesn't want to wrap this car around a pole and ruin an icon!
Maloo almost broke through that personality of an indoor plant.
@@_wallnutz_ Apparently Jono's brother is shy on camera, which is why he gives literally no expression...
I'm pretty much a Ford guy but that thing is a beast!! Definitely gets your attention!👍😁🇺🇸
I love the MALOOs 🔥🔥🔥
Seeing both of you together feels so different from the normal format and it rocks that thing looks wicked by the way immaculate 👍
Thanks brother! Will be doing these more often if people keep watching 🤣
Little bro is as deadpan as big bro is animated luv it
🤣 we balance each other out I guess
Don’t know why I laughed when you said “nothing like this in Canada ey” 😂
HAHA very Canadian
If only the maloo had the barra motor. Perfect combo.
Nah bro
Love the looks of the MALOO.. n I do love the Barra.. this V8 is good just needs to be 6MT
Yes I totally agree with you both,looks of the car are outstanding but the driving experience can definitely be improved,still a beast of a Ute,very nice review & great to see your bro again Johnny.
cheers pete glad you enjoyed it
I recently figured out the solution to having your stuff being thrown around in the back of a ute. On eBay you can find something called adjustable ratchet cargo bars, they're about $50aud and they clamp to each side of the tray using tension and allow you to secure your load. Very handy tools
Hey that sounds good 👍
What do you search for to find that?
@@stevenchandler4218 Type 'adjustable ratchet cargo bar' into ebay and you should find them.
@@stevenchandler4218 just found out they also sell them in Bunnings and Repco
@@quantametric
OK thanks man. I will look into that.
The week in 2009 I picked up my VE SSV, my good mate picked up his silver HSV Maloo! 😭 I had mine chipped, cold air intake, upgraded exhaust to take it to 340kw. It was bloody nice. I’m a Ford guy & wanted a FPV but I showed my then young daughter & son brochures. They both picked the VE. No regrets except when I sold it for 2 work vans. Thankfully a good mate’s wife bought it! She loves it & treats it as well as I did!👍🏻😎
always good to see them go to good homes eh brother..
Great to see your family back here again !
Thanks bro so nice to have em here
Bought one of these the other week in Sizzle red. I cannot tell you how fucking cool these things are to drive. They're so special. I will never, ever sell it
Good on ya mate! Epic utes hold onto em
Your brother's facial expression reminds me of Mr Bean on a roller coaster.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 classic man
Something tells me your bro is a fast four kind of guy, like that Subaru sti would be more his go to car. Anyways good to see you bros doing reviews 👍🇦🇺🍻
He loved the STI 🤣 your spot on bro
@@RossReviewsau Is your brother into cars like you are?
I knew it, I think it's just that generation 👍
Nice but you should drive a manual VF model. Also I have owned a VZ clubsport and a VF Clubsport and the VF is way better. And, if you do look for a VF see if you can find a supercharged version ;)
damn! thats a sweet garage! VF and VZ! just need a cheeky barra turbo in there also
Love it mate one of my many dream cars 🥲🥵
its a killer ute eh
That was awesome 😅 love the difference in energies 🤣
we are ying and yang a bit lol
Nice, I had a 2010 HSV E2 Clubsport GXP (317 kW, LS3), and always thought the 6 speed auto was pretty responsive in Sport. Gearing may have been different (suspension was) as I think the GXP Clubby and Maloo were originally destined for the US market as Pontiac's, and were re-badged for here when GM killed Pontiac.
Sports auto off the line was always impressive, considering the GXP's just had the standard Commodore SS width tyres on the back (same width as fronts), and the non-GXP HSV's has wider tyres on he back.
Owning a holden v8 and a ford Barra turbo my daily is the turbo coz I just like the holden better and I’d prefer to keep the kms of it.
there is something so special about a V8 ;)
Agreed
Another great video I too am an Holden man the Ve is a nice car great looks in HSV form drives nice yes the steering is probably too light I think even lighter in the Vf series and any v8 should be manual or at least a tuned motor/auto with a 3k highstall to wake the shifts and drive up my Vf ssv is cammed and manual pulls real hard quite a vcm 13 cam twin plate clutch the only thing I would say about most Fords I have driven is they feel like they are floating at higher speeds unlike my Vf where at higher speeds in a controled enviroment of course feels more planted
The Ute has a look of the VF...🥳🤗
the rear is basically the same eh
Lmao your brothers stating facts, ‘why can’t Ford make their utes look like this’ 😆 Totally agree
he aint wrong eh lol
As a Kiwi in Canada, Id love to import one of these..
How cool would it be eh
@@RossReviewsau Be a head turner for sure.
Great video Jonathan I know this video is 2 months old I agree with your brothers opinion at the end of the video when he said ( Your F6 Typhoon is way better to drive and the Turbo makes it much more fun to drive ) Ford wins all day long.
cheeers nick.. you and my bro are smart haha ;)
Jono doing “reacts “ videos with your bro are hilarious. Are you really related, Dude looks asleep 😂
😂 I’m like 😳.. he’s like 😕… Ha yeh he’s my brother… (different dad tho)
The maloo looks so much nicer than the FPV.
I do prefer the looks of hsv
Your brother couldn't look more disinterested mate. I'm not surprised as you're in a 12 year old version that has had a new model and two series added since then.
As others have said, stick him in a VF LSA.
Actually I feel like he looks more interested in this car then he has any other cars. I think you're misinterpreting his demeanour, I don't think he is disinterested at all, just a bit socially anxious. And if I'm honest so am I when I have a camera in my face, so it's understandable.
@@quantametric this! ^^ 💯this video was so much better then the others he's getting better on camera. Other bloke must not be a fan
Holden do detune the LS engines when they get to Australia do it back to the US specs it will go a lot harder all it is is the computer in it so no mods needed at all
If yall love to spool that much then throw a turbo on that v8 and make close to 1000hp on SBE.
It's amazing a stock bottom end LS engine with a turbo can make 1000hp reliably.
I am waiting for the day we get a big turbo V8 on the channel! Really would love to see one in action
@Ross Reviews come to America. I can get you a hook up on one with over 2k hp
Mine is alittle less at 1500hp.
And is not quite done. Almost but not yet.
So when you want I got you bro.
Hey Jonathan just need to reset the tune with a computer to get rid of the 3 minute delay from when you push the Excel orator. Qite easy to do.
Good video though man 👍
Thanks for that! 100% a nice tune would really wake it up
@@RossReviewsau
Hey Jonathan I need 2 - 8 x 20 and 2 - 10 x 20 HSV Pentagon wheels. Have got any contacts man?
are they still making maloo's over there as of 2023? i love those "trucks".
Nope 🥲
Would of been the bee’s knee’s if this was the SV Enhanced options ticked E3 Maloo instead of the standard model lol.
im sure will get some more on the channel soon ;)
I need 2 - 20 x 8 and 2 - 20 x 10 pentagon wheels if you can help please it would be very much appreciated.
Put him in a LSA next 😆
I’d love to see his reaction to that!
You should do a video on a Toyota Land cruiser 70 series trayback ute..........old school, V8 and manual. A real ute that can haul real loads. The styling is classical awesome.
Might have to one day mate cheers for the feedback!
@@RossReviewsau
My pleasure 😃
Steering works on long drives.
🔥
I wish my G8 was a Ute (G8 ST)
gotta love a ute!
Put him in a VF LSA maloo see if he likes that one lol
I’ll try n sort that out one day! Love a LSA
Interesting episode but, I thought you were a little hard on the Maloo. The auto on those cars are really quite good and just for the record the brakes on that model are AP Racing 4 piston brakes and they stop really well.
I love the MALOO.. the gear box tho is no where near as good as a ZF.. it’s ok but for a V8 ya need a manual.. this was also mainly my bro’s point of view 😅 still love a ute
I am a Holden guy, but the auto trans in the VE is the worst thing about the model.
Your right gotta get a manual
gotta be a manual in these eh
Cool. Wish we had these in Europe but we only have junk or million dollar sports cars. No other options.
It’s getting that way now 😢
Did your brother enjoy the car
he did
Nice
Holden did have the nicer looking utes and wagons towards the end of their life in Australia
VF was epic eh
Interesting.
cheers Neil
We have a vf sss
love a good VF
Not being mean or anything but it sounds like a slug for that massive engine size.. Fuel gauge will go down at the same speed the revs climb.... Makes the Ford look naked tho..
it needs a tune to really open her up! the gear box is what hurts it
The brother looks like he’s rather be anywhere else
He actually loves it he’s just super shy on camera 😂 your typical 18 year old
Like me and my lil bro, Completely opposite! one is extroverted and over the top af while the other is just.... "meh, whatever" 😂😂
I'd rather a vf ss over a ve maloo anyday, (personal opinion) the VE is by far the worst looking shape they ever did. Best looking is the VF maloo followed by the VZ, i'd rather even have an ugly vs maloo over that potato that the VE is, even HSV couldn't save it.
HAA thats cool you could relate to us.. love the VF and VZ spot on
Throw him in a stock G6ET or a FG F6 and see what he thinks 🤷
if anyone has one im sure he would be keen eh
Lol so bad they leave 2 Canadians to make a comment on a Mallooo. Lol sorry it doesn't have snow options. You did a mad review on the ve group a replica but this is a joke. It's an Aussie car for a reason. We didn't make them for you. Spooly boy. Keep ya f6. Fords are for chumps. The big difference is our Holden well body's.. our actually attached... not an option to a tray with that gross line breaking it up
We actually really love the maloo… it just needs a tune.. stock vs stock we prefer how the F6 drives but the maloo looks amazing 🤩
Your brother doesn’t wanna be there you can just tell
He actually does n loves doing these but he’s super shy on camera 🤣 so hard to get him to smirk even
U kidding me young bloke driving a hsv Maloo😂 he doesn't wanna be there? Thats something I dreamt of as a kid
I don't mind these at all but as an FG owner I reckon the FG generally is a better looking car ...In ute form the VE and VF look great but for practically purely as a ute I'd rather have the Falcon ..The FPV utes are also wicked looking too ..
100% the Maloo is a big toy not used as a proper ute.. the fords you can still use
Your Barra don’t sound that good 🤣
we agreed this sounds better...
You are in a Ute , they carry a load . Thats why they have side mirrors . It’s a poor point you are making .
hes from canada n we dont have utes there
Canadians are just northern Aussies
Absolutely true!
I own a BA XR6T and used to drive my cousins old VE SS, and I agree, I hate the way they drive. Felt like a big boat on the road. Sounded sick and went hard, but they're shithouse on the road.
yeh thats kinda how it was.. great utes they just need a bit of money spent on them to make really great
Lol nah nothing big these days look good 🤣
take me back to the mid 2000s
when you drive lie you paid for it
Xr8 was more fun it was manual , auto for people that can't drive
100% gotta have it as a manual
