Thanks for your support! And you’re very welcome 😁

Happy to be of assistance 😁 What do you mean by tow upgrade? We are curious! 🤔😁

@@AussieDestinationsUnknown Hey Guys Talking to a Dealer we can get one made up with a different tow load, up to 8 ton but only 6ton in Australia with the right hitch and breaks, it will be added into build, NB2 Lic or we have MR .

Oh thanks for the Eletric bike storage idea love it

Amazing hey…it’s an absolute pleasure towing

You’re so welcome - thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😁 Winning numbers heading your way - once we figure them out 🤣

Our pleasure!

Thank you! We are too - can’t wait!! 😁😁

Glad you enjoyed it

Definitely not! Ours will be built into a tourer with a canopy, boat and all the extras. We’d be illegal and overweight if we kept it standard. But without adding all that, you could leave them standard easily if you weren’t doing stacks of corrugated roads like we do. Same as any vehicle - if you’re doing brutal corrugation a lot - you’ll destroy the shock absorbers. But if you do it occasionally it would be fine. It most definitely ready for touring as is. There are plenty of standard Chevys towing vans around the country. Not everyone wants or needs a full super-tourer like we build.

@AussieDestinationsUnknown Thanks, guys, agree and safe travels. On a side note, have you discussed with GMSV why they don't offer an upgraded suspension for touring to suit Australian conditions and travelling like you and a lot of others do?

@@Choc-Byes, like bringing in the 2500 ZR2, basically the truck we all want, straight out of the box.

Sure is! 😁

It needs to be the GM accessory camera that plugs into the truck

Hey Kevin...Congrats buddy, you're going to love it. It's not a problem to GVM upgrade to NB2 later down the track but this will only be a SSM plate which means it's only mod plated for the state you are in. This won't affect you driving it in other states but if the rego was transferred into another state this would have to be done again. That's the only downside that i see.

@@AussieDestinationsUnknown thank you, reallly appreciate you getting back to me. I'm excited awaiting it's arrival. Looking forward to seeing all the mods you do on your new truck.

Go get one!!! You’ll never look back

Chalk and cheese buddy. The 10speed is amazing

They’re already here 😁

We’ve never any issues with our truck 🙃

Best name ever! 😂

😁👊🏼

It’s short for PICKUP TRUCK - which is what they are. Ours is NB2 and we need a truck license to drive it - so ours is a real truck that’s costs a lot more to insure, register and our tolls are massive as well. Standard you can drive them on a car license as they are de-rated when they come into Australia #trucklife

@@AussieDestinationsUnknown ok 👍

We’ve had one towing full time around the country and I don’t see any issues. And there isn’t many vehicle that can tow 4500kg turn key. American trucks or NPS trucks are it.

David, It depends on the size / weight of the caravan, u need to tow. If your caravan is below 3 tonne, then plenty of vehicles will handle that, but, some will manage 3 t better then others. Important to consider, how often u r towing, and the distance u r driving, whilst towing. If your vehicle is going to be at its GVM / GCM limits, then an occasional short drive, over a short distance, might be ok. But, if u r towing often, over long distances, this situation is far from ideal, or safe.. If u r towing over 3 tonne, then many vehicles, are immediately at their GVM and GCM limit. Many vehicles are rated to tow 3.5 t, but at this level, you have nothing left for payload, such as passengers / luggage etc… A lot of factors will determine the most appropriate vehicle, to suit your requirements. For many people, a vehicle like this, is most definitely, the best option. Yes, it’s a big vehicle, but, u know that, so it’s clearly not necessarily the best vehicle to use, for daily driving in metro areas…

You can call it an American Ute if you like - but you’d be the only one in the world. What about FTrucks? Going to call that an F Ute? Or Ram Trucks Australia - going to call them Ram Utes Australia? It’s short for PICKUP TRUCK - which is what they are. You’d better get used to it 😂

Closer to $200,000

Try $180k

Plus the $200,000 caravan. Makes my 15 yr old territory ond coromal look stupid. But it will get me to most places.

Doesn’t matter what setup you have …as long as you’re out there enjoying it who cares

And that’s all that matters! As long as it works for you. This is our home and our job. We spend a lot of hours driving. And a lot working from inside the van. And we like it 😁

Hmmm we’ve been towing a large caravan around Australia fulltime for over 4 years and never had an issue and I’ve never heard of anyone else having this problem
