I drive a troopy and boy I'd never say it was Comfortable on the journey; once you've parked up though it's a different story! Plus, it's a legitimate compromise in offroadability with the height, weight, and long ass wheel base compared to a ute or wagon.

@HartyBiker 6 жыл бұрын

Like you said, it really depends on what you plan on doing with your 4wd as to what you buy. If you're camping with just 1 or 2 of you often a ute will be better because it's way easier to get away without towing a trailer, even for longer trips. But then they might not be as capable off road, depending on the ute or wagon you're comparing. One big plus for utes that you forgot to mention is that if you want to chuck in a load of fire wood for camping or tools for work or dirt and rocks for a backyard reno a ute is by far the better option as it's not in the cab with you and it's easier to clean out with just a hose, no doubt about it, but that's just 1 aspect. In the end it really just comes down to what you want and how you build it. Almost all 4wds are just as viable offroad and for camping if you're smart with the build so you can't really pick a clear cut winner.

@richardjessnitz761 6 жыл бұрын

Great video as always, thanks. I'd like to add one point in favour of a UTE, as I recently switched from a UTE to a SUV. Loading dirty stuff. Sounds like a small thing, but stuff like a oily chainsaw, even just goodies used on a visit to the beach. In a UTE, chuck it on the back, no problem. In an SUV or station wagon it's tricky to pack dirty stuff. Roofracks are all good and well until something leaks shmoo on the roof paint. I didn't think much of it until I made the switch, but it definitely rearranges your approach to what and how to pack.

I discovered your channel about a month ago, and so far, it's changed my life. I've decided to take my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I was building into a rock crawler, and change directions, and build an overlanding rig. I live in Utah, USA and everyone can crawl rocks here, and everyone DOES, but overloading is the new thing, and not everyone can do it, so it's probably far less crowded and isolated...and I want to be a part of it. Thanks again.

Great topic Ronnie, I guess it's personal preference mostly but I like the wagon. Bear in mind that many of smaller utes ie Ford Ranger, don't have a large GCM so when towing big stuff the load carrying capacity is greatly reduced. A GVM upgrade does not necessarily increase the GCM. Highway comfort is another big issue especially here in WA driving a screaming bouncing Rodeo for 700km did my head in.

It has the topper on it with locking dark-tint windows and we have room to spare for gear for a weeks trip. The Xterra gets better mileage, better weight/power ratio, still a good amount of room for people but we have to pair down our gear for a week to just the essentials if we don't want to use the roof rack or a hitch carrier.

Wagons for families?? These comments surprised me. Two kids, two adults trips away, trying to carry minimal gear, chose the Ranger dual cab with mods to carry the gear comfortably and tour in comfort. Love it. Wagon way too small, even the cruisers. Was worried not toyota, but so far it's great. Lots of storage under the canopy (and I have dust proofed it - can be done) seems more than capable enough and really comfortable. Carting gear for a family of four can be tricky to work out, but the dual cab is popular for a reason. Great videos Ronnie, love your stuff. Thanks.

Had a Ute, then a wagon. Then back to two more utes. First was a single cab full size. Put a king size bed in the back with tool/storage on the sides and sliding under. Best short notice camping vehicle ever. At a mates place and the conversation turns to what the he'll, lets go now. This is no problem with that setup. Problems were three people max, parking and weight. It always was fully loaded but could be called on to go for a week or two with zero notice. The wagon was great for carrying more people, that was the main reason for purchase. It filled that role well. It also off roaded better because of the shorter wheel base. A full length roof rack with 1inch square mesh made it the best spotlighting vehicle I've seen in 30 years of shooting. Mattress on top with a wind brake and sand bags for distance shots. However, it failed badly when transporting meat back. A Ute can be washed out easily. A wagon cannot. Throwing game on the roof rack might look bad assed but its just a pain in the ass. So I went back to its but this time dualcabs. A compromise between the two. Too small for a bed in the back like a full size ute, but it can carry more people. A canopy provides a balance to keep gear in there for short notice but its too small to make it a full time instant trip vehicle without restricting its day to day usage. So I got a bigger dual cab. Its a good mix of everything except economy and certain off road conditions. Quite honestly, there is no vehicle that does it all very well. So pick the ones it does very well with what you need or want now. Just bear in mind, your needs will change. My 1st Ute carried three people and a king sized bed. But I was single and going out with the guys meant two vehicles and tents. Now I'm married, no kids, and the idea of a single cab with a bed in the back is ideal. The wagon for me had more disadvantages than anything but that was my particular case. I can see how for many it would be the best choice. Sometimes working out what is really important comes after the purchase. Be prepared for the limitations that you can't live with.

@robmacca67 6 жыл бұрын

You didn’t mention about Camping/touring when the weather turns bad..... I would have thought that the wagon would have the advantage here due to being able to fit larger awnings on the side of the car. Wagons/Troopies can be better setup for wet weather in my opinion....

@marksman712 6 жыл бұрын

I think you can mount that same choice of awnings to a dual cab as a wagon? And in stock form yeh wagon is better but when you consider all the canopy options, some of them are really good at being weathproof like the stainless steel or marine hooded ones.

@robmacca67 6 жыл бұрын

Matthew Ray I was thinking more the full length awnings that run down the full length of the vehicle. With utes, I would have thought there would be issues with the different flexing between body and rear tray if u tried mounting the full length awning down the full length of the vehicle? For the amount of shade and protection from rain, I think wagons are a bit better in this area. When looking at the type of vehicle most commonly used for over landing around the world, I reckon the majority would be some form of a wagon....

For me, a wagon is better by FAR. My wagon has an official "van conversion" so it's limited to just the front seats, but I only pay 10% of taxes I'd normally pay. I also converted my wagon so I can sleep inside instead of a roof tent. So for overlanding, it's a lot more subtle and safer. Would love to have an even longer wagon than the 110 I currently have.

Being from the USA, it was good to finally understand that a UTE is a truck(/pickup) :) And buy extension, a 'wagon' is what we like to call an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle). "open tray" is bed or truck bed? "GVM" in usa GVWR (max) or curb weight(current weight). In USA, payload is carry weight. "ramp angle" is break over angle. UTE 'tub'? is this what we call a truck 'bed' in USA? Another example of "two countries separated by a common language" It's fun learning how language changes over time in various geographic places. US/AUS/UK slang and terminology while not separate languages they are diverging slightly over time.

Nice! Another category "safety" on and off road. One of the problems of SUV's ("wagons") is all that crap you bring is liable to hit you in the head be it an on or off road situation. Now the same could go for an extra or double cab truck if you have many unsecured items up front, There is however an advantage having the partition esp if you add a "headache" rack. I'd imagine many SUVS are safer than trucks being designed for families, but That pickups have some other safety plusses.
