While Walkinshaw – famous for its work on numerous vehicles including performance Holdens – has put its spin on the D-Max’s styling and suspension setup, a notable omission is any power bump for the diesel ute. As it stands, the Blade is powered by the same 3.0-litre litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine used by other D-Max models.

Throw in some bumps and trying to tap that app icon can be like slotting your key in the front door after seven pints on a Friday night. Thankfully many carmakers still spread functions between screens and real buttons and dials, and improving voice activation is helping. And that’s if the road is smooth.

Down the road – a short boat ride for most – Villa d’Este spreads out, takes off its silk Hermes tie and wraps it firmly around its head. I bump into a mate while walking around and he tells me there is more. But these are just the cars in the main site. But it's not here. It's down the road.

Beginning with a program in 2022 to improve battery performance, the collaboration between the two saw the development of a highly specialised dielectric heat transfer fluid in which the entire battery is immersed, helping to control heat build-up caused by high-speed charging, while helping to prevent the spread of thermal runaway.

On a clear day, though, the views are absolutely spectacular, with Kampersrus and Hoedspruit spread out below you (apparently).

Still, it’s not a cheap car, with a six-figure asking price that is bumped up slightly with our inky choice of paint. The newer-design DT Ram 1500 Big Horn bumps the price up to $119,950, while the Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Premium is more of a Lariat competitor around the $130,000 price point.

However the dreaded back-end lurch when the Falcon hits a mid-bend bump has disappeared, as has the need to take half a dozen bites at finding the right line in a corner. The test car’s steering at low speeds was also strangely heavy and dull, particularly just off centre. The indicator wand works with little finesse.

Functions are split across toggles, haptic buttons, steering wheel controls, and the screen, which isn’t necessarily a problem – but the spread isn’t intuitive. At speed the 2008 GT is comfortable and refined, with a neutral suspension tune that irons out potholes and bumps in the road.

It’s a clever feature that we hope to see spread to Ford passenger cars, not just vans. The weight of the E-Transit Custom’s battery can be felt over bumps, and at times the wheels can react sharply to potholes and expansion joints in the road.

With a wide spread of variants and almost limitless choices for optional extras and genuine accessories, owners will be able to customise their vehicle to suit their exact needs.

Once you have, the car benefits from some great dynamic fundamentals: a powerful, free-revving six-cylinder engine with a superbly broad spread of accessible torque, a fairly compact and very nicely balanced rear-wheel-drive chassis with a shortish wheelbase and a kerb weight that… well, let’s say it’s low enough.

While basically it’s a cargo area spreading the width of the truck, set behind the rear seats and in front of the truck bed, it’s fitting for numerous purposes. Sounds from bumps, joints and road are dampened properly, especially for a truck. There are only 67db of noise heard at 70mph, compared to the 70db in Tesla Model 3.

When closing, the doors stop dead if they detect an impact – you’ll feel the bump, but won’t be left mangled or crushed. One regular infotainment screen could easily handle all the functions spread across multiple displays here. Similarly, mid-corner bumps, when feeding in more power, can cause the car to lurch alarmingly.

The C412 from Belgrave to Gembrook rolls easily beneath the RS’s fat 335-section rear tyres, the suspension doing a decent job of the bumps without upsetting us too much.

There’s some gloss black trim, like seemingly every car in 2024, but it’s used sparingly with metallic trim spread more extensively on the centre console and to accent the dash. It doesn’t clomp over bumps, but there’s just a bit too much bob and float – particularly for something with an F Sport badge.

A niche or segment can go unrecognised for years, but once it hits, the popularity can spread like wildfire. The chassis’s inherent balance feels fine on well-maintained surfaces, but mid-corner bumps and broken surfaces reveal that it can be upset fairly easily. The crossover SUV is a great example.

It’s all intended to give passengers in the second row as much space as possible, which may be a strength for families that want the room to spread out. It tends to crash over bumps at high speed, and generally move around a lot over smaller undulations. It’s not unbearable, but we’d stop short of calling it plush.

There’s a really cool animation that spreads across the entire digital instrument cluster to let you know this is something serious.
