An Australian made expedition 4x4
- Thread starter oka boy
- Start date
The cab chassis starts at about A$ 150,000,complete bus body with seats about A$185,000,I'm not sure if they will produce a LH drive on the NT model,it's not a cheap 4x4 it's all made and put together by hand.This prices include road costs and Tax so for export it will be a fair bit cheaper.

I think I worked it out from their options and price list that it would be $212000.
Certainly shows when he has to put one wheel down in a ditch. I did read on his site it was a little overweight.
Sounds like it needs a total rethink.
Lucky he is a competant driver:smiley_drive:

What is the GVM of the Oka NT?
This propensity of us expedition camper owners to overload vehicles is how I ended up with a U500 Unimog, GVM = 15000kg. I max out absolutely loaded at 12.7 ton.

Earlier models,XT,LT GVM was 6000kg,with the NT is hard to say as some mods allowed the engineers to increased it slightly,in the case of Ruedi's NT 001,air bags were fitted as std to allow for the extra weight of the camper and all other goodies with an increased GVM,mine ready to go steps on the scales at 5.4 t,I'm very selective about what I carry and paranoid about overloading.

While I'm definitely not a fan of these trucks I had to post these pics. A friend took them for me today when we were camping up the beach with a group of students. Very clean and tidy removable camper setup with electric jacks.
I had a long talk to the owner mainly about 19.5" tyre selection. He's running 19.5" x 305 Michelin XDE on custom 19.5 x 8.25 rims. He also has modded the suspension with airbags to level the ride and reduce body roll on the road and fitted big Tough Dog shocks. He said he'd love to ft a 6.5 litre V8 diesel in place of the Perkins. Also this one is only rated at 5t GVM max which he usually travels at without carrying too much extra.
I didn't get to see inside and I certainly wouldn't ask anyway. I know how sick most truck owners must tired of the constant attention.
He said it's a major step up after his 100 Series Cruiser and camper trailer. What do you think of it?

Nice,That gives me some ideas for a Canter. I wonder who may the body, would be good to get more info on it
I was keen on getting a OKA, but they are overprice in my opinion. A mid 90`s OKA is anywhere from 30 to 60k.
Much better in getting a Canter and being able to get parts anywhere etc.

His name was Peter but he is the third owner now and he was from the Gold Coast.
I think they look awesome but I'm afraid I have to agree with you there. It's why some of the tour operators are going away from them in favour of Canter's and Isuzu's.
