It's a pretty interesting model. My partner and I have talked about buying one like this at some point, maybe to travel around Europe, maybe. For two people, it seems quite legit.
The other option is too much for us, especially considering the price.
Now, what would be a good option for your needs? (to keep learning) The closest thing to a 4x4 here are the Hilux 😅
A good option for my needs is what I've posted about recently, I think you might have missed that post considering your question. I have what I need and am content with it.
This little Hiace campervan would be great for travels around Europe (or Australia for that matter) for two people, I hope you make it happen one day.
... Worse , I forgot it, I take some time to reread your posts, and even reread my own comments ; it was a good exercise after all😅.I guess I’m getting old 🦕
For that price, I hope the "little" Hiace can handle the off-road conditions in Australia well
The Hiace isn't my thing but as I said, but it'll handle some of what Australia has to offer. We have some terribly difficult tracks such as:
These are just a few...sometimes they're impassible and even when they are they're hard...I'm not sure that little Hiace is up to places like this.
I googled the routes and I have no words to describe it 🤯, what a marvel! 🤩I was doing some maths and I need several visits to Australia to cover all the trails 😅 and you say that are just a few
The landscapes are insane, and doing it in a 4x4 would be an unforgettable experience.
My favorite was Climies Track because it's like a route we have in eastern Cuba, which runs very close to the coast as well
But I was really surprised by this photo (and the last sentence 😅) from OTT; it's incredible that the drivers and the 4x4s can manage that drop.
Another thing I loved is that many routes are historical, and you can even interact with the locals, which I really enjoyed. Conclusion: Australia is a must-visit; I keep moving it up my list!
I thought you might google them, some amazing tracks huh?
The OTT is extreme for sure and that image you have there, that's the gunshot and infamous entry point to the creek one must drive through. YouTube is full of videos of cars dropping into it.
Yesterday, I watched several YT videos, and when I say several, I mean a lot.
I’ll just say two things: "amazing" doesn’t even begin to cover it; they’re incredible 🤩.
And secondly, you Australians are a bit crazy! 😅 No, seriously, I loved the videos. Really need to have amazing skills to drive in those terrains 🤯
Lol, yeah we can be crazy. I'm glad you watched a few videos as that tells the story better than I could.
