good to know.

I'd love to visit Colorado. Big TFL fan

Pretty much anywhere in the Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico region that is the case.

I’d also add Calgary, Alberta Canada to that list

@@4xoverland Andrew, an hour outside of New York City and you’re camping in the Hudson Valley. An hour and a half outside Los Angeles and you’re in Joshua Tree! Come back and visit!

Two words. Guy Lines 🙄

Epic comment. You just made my day 😂

#LSConversion

That’s an old canard about British vehicles, before electrical upgrades (German) and reliable carburation. 😉

It's not just about improving dependability, they drive like a tractor and leave you exhausted afterwards. Terrible

🤣👍

'Wild Camping within a hour and that is safe' are the criteria. Nowhere is South Africa is it safe to wild camp.

@@4xoverland I missed the safe part 😂

It's a Gazelle T4. I have one. It is an excellent tent. Packs up to around 67" in length (170cm), so it is still pretty long. Incredibly fast and roomy though. They do make a smaller one that is a three person and that is 57" long.

@@jimyeats thanks for that. Have now found the site and had a look at some youtube videos. Dunno if it has anything over the RV4 or 5 really. oztent materials more robust, frame better quality (more weight obviously) and a slightly longer footprint. The 4 overland model comes out to be about AUD 1,200 to the doorstep here in Australia so that is a pretty big chunk of change.

@@paulsenrichard Gotchya. I don’t the immediate exchange rate but I got my orange Gazelle T4 Overland for around $349 USD. The material and stitching is pretty good, certainly a fair step above typical tents. Not sure how much heavier I would want the material as it would become more difficult to toss around or throw up on the roof rack. With that said, I don’t have any experience with the Oztent, so I speak with a certain degree of ignorance.

@@paulsenrichard The gazelle has a lot lighter material than the original Oztent. It also breathes through the fly so no condensation on the inside. MUCH more usable room inside as well. I have mine in the UK and it is fine for the terrible weather here ;-)

@@ailo4x4 thanks and, yes, the useable room is central to my thinking now. I was worried to hear you are given a ground sheet for the overland version of the tent; suggesting that the tub built into the unit needs protection from the elements.

I have as much use for an Earthroamer as I do a plot of land on Christmas Island. Valuable but good only for showing off at parties.

The Earthroamer is good. If Andrew doesn't want to use one I'll take it for a trip

There is really not enough to say to keep up 9 weeks of filming and 2 weeks editing for three cars. They are nice cars, but not that nice.

We look forward to your reviews.

@@4xoverland Me just reviewing it without physically seeing it in person Unimog: regardless of age, single cabin style, 12'x8/7'x6'5" pending on overall weight 4x4 or 6x6 conversion and/or trailer to sleep in.. Rover: likely ex-military ambo with an extension 4' pending on its overall weight will dictate whether or not you need a 6x6 conversion or not, front to 6'5" height 6--8' width 8-12' length with walk through to drivers seat.. noting for reliability toyota conversion would be a must f-150 - f650 whether it be a single cab or dual cab bed area on top of roof and living area towards the back.. My opinion: rover with trailer setup for cooking support and food carriage is a chuck wagon layout for a tag along tour.. thus is why stuff was missing, platform in its current use stage really to short range... f-150 looked more like storage bin layout to live out of not live within... umimog: needs length to support shower/toilet, kitchen and and sleeping area either 2 single or 1 fold down queen enough to seat 4-6 for a meal comfortable

Not camping. Wild camping that is safe. I don't believe you.

better for what? Sliders are a complete pain if you want to: open them, look out of them, operate them, clean them.

Are you comparing a ranger to a 76/69 cruiser or a 200/300 cruiser? Big difference in it's intended purpose.

@@perpelle I'm comparing a Ranger to the 70 series. All the 70 series 76, 78, 79 Etc. And well as the hilux. My great grandfathers ox wagon had a beter suspension.

@@mazambane286 70 series cannot be compared to a ranger. It's two completely different vehicles. The hilux though on the other hand can (but you didn't mention that in your first comment). I drove both last year (not the new 2023 ranger because that isn't fair) and the difference was negligible. Unladen the ranger was a little bit better but it wasn't a deal breaker.

@@perpelle I don't know where you are? I live in Africa and I drive toyota's every day of my life and have been for over 44 years. All the companies I have worked for own fleets of them. Including the current one. In 2019 I had the pleasure of driving a Ranger. I was so impressed that I bought one for myself. Now I dread having to go to work and be reduced to driving land cruiser's and hilux's.

@@perpelle The 70 series is a pick-up mate. No matter what body it attached to it the chassis and running gear are identical. So yes as a pick-up it's in the same class as any other pick-up.
