Hiya seasoned travellors,
This is my first post, have done a lot of short 4WDing but nothing that really counts as expedition, although down here in Australia we call it "touring" ;-p
I'm researching into suitable vehicles for touring duties. As my dream is to take it overseas I don't want to have to tow a caravan/CT etc. So this will pretty much limit me to a roof top tent.
It would have to have 4/5 seats and be auto.
So would you get a ute with canopy/trademen box or a wagon?
I like the idea of dual cab ute with box on the tray that can house the fridge, stove, stores etc with a roof topper on top.
Plus when used as a DD I can remove the box and save quite a bit of weight.
What do people think of the new Mitsu Tritons? I know the Toyos are very popular around the world but what other brands are popular, and hence get spares/repairs for?
As it will be a DD I can't really venture into the Muso/Mog territory...
