Can't wait to see part 2 - part 1 was awesome. We have a 2500HD on order and hopefully will get it later this year. On your caravan do you have disc brakes? Ours is still being built and we are having the Cruisemaster ATX system installed but they have asked us do we want discs or drums? Could you please educate me.

@AussieDestinationsUnknown 3 ай бұрын

Glad you liked it guys and congrats on your new up and coming setup. I’d 💯 go disc brakes. I think they work better and are easy to clean.

Awesome units. Yes they are big and have their limitations but what a terrific towing machine. They work out cheaper than a extended Landcruiser or the like. We tow a 3500kg van and our Landcruiser 200 is at its limit (has a 3800 GVM upgrade) from an design and engineering perspective. You also have the tail wagging the dog scenario, where the tow vehicle is lighter than the towed mass. Not good physics! I think we will see a lot more of this type vehicle on our roads moving forward and the will be doing what they are designed to do "Haul a big load". Ram & Chev have the market jump at present but I believe we will see Ford introduce the F250 option in time once the F150 gets settled in. When you drive one it is a "Oh yes" moment, comfort ,power and tech all in one great package.

💯 agree with what you’ve said. It’s great to see more and more on the roads now.

Seems to be some confusion in relation to tow specs. Stamped on GMSV tow bar 50mm tongue & 50mm ball = 3500kg towing capacity. 70mm tongue & 70mm ball = 4500kg towing capacity. Try and fit 70mm tongue into 50mm receiver ?

@AussieDestinationsUnknown 6 күн бұрын

The tongues are the same size…it’s the ball size that changes

For the price they charge couldn't they build those orange side reflectors into the body panels to make them look a bit neater, I know they need them for Australian Roadworthy but they look like they are bought from Repco and slapped on.

@AussieDestinationsUnknown 2 ай бұрын

The BTC of the truck has nothing to do with needing a special license. That is in regard to the GVM of the car. For example up to 4.5t GVM is a standard car license. 4.5-8t GVM is LR. This event was about GMSV showing the latest model oem truck to the media/press. It was a corporate event and definitely wasn’t the place to raise that or talk about modifications or upgrades or licenses.

When I worked in a panel shop grey was an undercoat it looks terrible as a main colour every time I see a car in that grey undercoat I think it needs to be painted in a colour . Not a fan .too much technology in these new trucks /cars how much of it will still be working in 20 years time ? Or do you have to upgrade every few years and pass all the problems onto someone else . I will stick with my low tech 18 year old cruiser with less technology and no problems still going strong with no issues.

Correct…they are build to tow. And when you say useless for Fraser and other places, that’s a series exaggeration. We’ve been touring in one for 4 years now and rarely had an issue with accessibility and zero reliability issues. 🤷🏻‍♂️ As for American trucks on Fraser? Watch this space.

@AussieDestinationsUnknown ok thanx. Would love one and sounds a but petty but at over $100k plus I personally thought that they would be able to replace the navigation so you wouldn't have to utilize a phone. But that's me.
