FactA cab-chassis HSV Maloo based on this One Tonner was scheduled for 2003 before the model itself was retired to make way for the VE Commodore.
The Holden One Tonner is a cab-chassis utility that Holden built between 1971 and 1985 (HQ to WB) and again between 2003 and 2005 on the VY and VZ Commodore; it was sold in South Africa as the Chevrolet El Toro between 1974 and 1978. The VY brought it back after an 18-year hiatus in just two trims — Base and S, both with the 3.8-litre 152 kW (204 hp) Ecotec V6 and four-speed automatic — and a VY-based cab-chassis HSV Maloo concept was scheduled to launch in 2003 if released. The VZ range offered the Base and S with the 3.6-litre 175 kW (235 hp) Alloytec V6 or the 5.7-litre 235 kW (315 hp) Generation 3 V8, the AWD Cross 6 (3.6-litre V6, four-speed automatic only) and the SVZ (SV6 plus leather seats, paddle shifts and Monaro CV8 rims, with a 195 kW (261 hp) Alloytec V6 in five-speed automatic or six-speed manual). Production of the One Tonner ceased in December 2005 to make room in the factory for the upcoming VE Commodore.
