Super TestCar reviews - Holden - Crewman - 4-dr utility rangeHolden modelsResearch Holden OverviewHolden adds an Alloytec V6 and six-speed manual to its four-door Crewman ute8 Oct 2004 WHEN it comes to producing popular new bodystyles from the one flexible Commodore platform, Holden is the master. Monaro, One Tonner and Crewman are just three cases in point, the latter two being the result of bolting a chassis to the back of a monocoque-bodied cab to create the two longest rear-drive Holdens ever. In the case of Crewman, load carrying capacity is compromised to squeeze in an extra row of seats, making it the first five-seater Commodore-based ute and the first Australian-built four-door ute. As such, Aussies have flocked to it. Crewman's first facelift brings with it dramatic performance and refinement improvements, in the shape of a new Alloytec V6, new six-speed manual as standard, a revised V8, upgraded autos and subtle chassis updates. But there is no change to Crewman's cramped rear seating accommodation.
