Kakadu versus VX

[starcees Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close starcees]

Just putting it out there. Is the Kakadu worth the $10K+ extra over the vx model. Just did a quick spec comparison and the extra on the Kakadu is; moonroof, sat nav, rear dvd, rear diff lock and multi terrain monitor. Only important to me is rear dvd and perhaps gps (diff lock is excess and mtm is a gimmick). Thinking of the VX and save the extra,

Re: Kakadu versus VX

Why not order a VX with the option pack including the GPS and upgraded speakers? You can fit an aftermarket rear DVD player. I finished up buying the Kakadu and couldn't be happier, from all accounts the MTM is very effective but probably not necessary. Good luck with the decision.

Hi
I ordered the VX with the Sat Nav option pack which includes a speaker upgrade same as the kakadu. I may add an aftermarket DVD but not sure yet. I didnt need the other extra's so could justify the extra dollars.
Kind Regards

PS delivery is scheduled for this arve

Hey Starcees,
The Kakadu also gets KDSS, Height adjustable rear suspension, adjustable shocks, Crawl system, AVS? lights(where the headlights turn as you turn), multi terrain select and a centre console cooler box. For me these extras made the Kakadu worth the extra money over the VX.
cheers.

Re: Kakadu versus VX

The VX has KDSS as well.

The Kakadu also has memory positions for the drivers seat, which is nice with two regular drivers of different heights.

Re: Kakadu versus VX

Hi, We had the same problem - Kakadu v VX but at that time no Satnav option available (ordered 20/4 pick up 30/8) so we went the Kakadu with safety pack. The extras on the kakadu we thought were worth it. Really it was personal preference for us and we did get a terrific price ($73450 we have part GST exemption). We intend to use ours to tow, so the height adjusting suspension and adjustable shocks were a plus. Either way you'll enjoy it I'm sure.
Cheers
