If you could get medical insurance to pay for seats you'd be rolling!

Interesting thread, thanks! Makes you wonder how the H2 acquired the "poser" reputation in the first place.

OP says he is only technically in the US. Also only technically owns two containers for extra fuel. Hard to know what that means.:unsure:

Sorry, I believe that is based on 20% pavement, 80% dirt.

Technically the preferred range for Mexico and lower 48 is 420 miles. For Canada and AK it is 475 miles.

That's a pretty green color. (y)

My apologies to OP for any part I may have played in derailing this useful thread. I've cleaned up behind myself and my personal troll is welcome to follow me to another thread. (y)

I expect we've all pondered that one! Seriously, just keep your jerry cans and fill them up when you head out into the unknown. Or seek local knowledge near the trail head.

^^Yep, if they sold a crew cab 4X4, 2.7L engine, some decent mirrors and 1800ish payload I think there would be buyers.

You are increasing your capacity from 120L to 155L with the new tank. Only you can know if you need more. If in doubt, carry an extra can first trip out. There is such a thing as too much, given the low payload of the Frontier.

That's a cool graphic, showing what type of truck fits each class. If OP had a 10K truck he'd have no worries!

^^^It's fine, all we have here is opinions. (y)

Some pics and info on this site would be nice. (y)

Actually, that they have similar payloads is not unreasonable or illogical. The Tundra has a higher GVWR but it also weighs more. You could probably load a Tundra to the point it would have less payload than some Tacomas. No problem, we all roll the dice when it suits us. (y)

Logically, it doesn't make sense to ignore GVWR just because the CGAWR is higher. Reducing it to absurdity, you might as well ignore all other limits because your tires are rated for a higher load. Not saying anyone will be killed, but it's the kind of thinking people fall into when they want...

Other than the Frontier/Navara, the Tacoma/Hilux is often mentioned. It may be that though they are based on the same platform, there are differences between US and rest-of-world versions. Again, I've yet to see a system by system comparison for either so we are just guessing.

I'll bet you could build him a cool custom flat bed.

I'm not confident enough in my own knowledge to say that GVWR are all bogus. I'm aware that similar vehicles are rated differently for different markets but I haven't seen a case where the vehicles have been shown to be exactly the same. I've read that some HD trucks have multiple ratings for...

Ouch, your payload is only 1072#. That's consistent with your actual scale weight, you don't have much to work with. You might consider a more capable truck or a very small trailer for your gear.

Just curious as to your original plans. Mount a camper in the bed, tow a large trailer off road or what? Bummer to have to move on after so much work.
