Hi folks! We are considering getting rid of our current rig/trailer to fund our next build. I wanted to get an idea of what you all think it's worth (and if anyone is interested). It is very reliable and tows like a dream presently doing a tour of 20+ National Parks. We get 12-14mpg towing and...
15k OBO. We are willing to sell just the trailer too. That would be 12K OBO. Though in my opinion they are better as a package (and have matching rims and tires).

I am pumped I even talked him down $500!! I would love to see how your build goes too! We can bounce ideas off one another! You looking for the same generation or going for an older one? Have you seen the one going up on auto-auction...
I finally picked up a new to me 2007 Grand Vitara! 92,000 miles and runs like a top. My current plan is to do some suspension work which may include a lift (the ground clearance is rubbish on these). Any suggestions?
As for building a sleeping platform inside of it, I think it may be a bit...
Thanks for the info! I found a 2006 loaded with 107k miles on it. They are asking 4200 for it, with a big dent on the side.... I am looking at it tomorrow!
As for more GV porn, I would love this build:
I decided to go with a newer model as it is my understanding they are very reliable and...
I am also slightly tempted by this one: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5458877036.html
Any argument against the newer Vitara? It has more electronics to fail... How about support in Central and South America?
Thanks!
Thanks for the responses!
OK here is my revised list after considering many factors:
Ditch the rooftop tent and fancy bumpers. I agree not worth the loss of mpg and defeats the low profile.
Just do the basics to it. Minor lift, rubber, and some low profile lights. The interior would get most...
I am still hunting for the right rig. Craigslist is my best friend. I would do an xl-7 but the MPG is too low for me since the majority of those came with v6 auto setup. I am keeping an eye out for a manual one though :D
Thanks looks like a great resource! Now I have yet another distraction at work.... :)
I love tdi swaps btw, wish I had the space to make it happen (on my project bucket list).
Hi everyone I am new to the forum but a long time reader!
I have been dreaming of doing a long trip from AK to Cape Horn and possibly further! It is finally time to start building! I have been tooling around with what would suit my needs best and I will line out my criteria and my current...
