Did quite some camping touring in the 80's with a Suzuki SJ410 (1000cc!) towing a Venter trailer. I owned larger vehicles at the time but it was quite fun touring in the small Jeep once you're tuned into it.

@@GetOutGO Every owner of a dome tent will encounter that day when s decision is made that come hell or high water, a better alternative has to be out there, somewhere. The one thing I will add to a teardrop trailer, should I buy one, is a privacy cubicle on the opposite side of the awning so that the trailer can be exited directly into a area suitable for changing in. I suspect I might just sleep better on a proper mattress and in something where the doors can be locked from the inside.

@@GetOutGO I have a suspicion that the Vagabond has (or can have) the same size wheels as the Jimny which might mean that one could potentially fit the same rims and tyres which adds a layer of backup when travelling and also presents better options for tyre rotation with potentially eight tyres available.

Hi Christoff Which would you choose for yourself? A Vagabond Rouge or an Edge Out?

I haven’t used the Edge Out so can’t really say. Its GVM is 1350kg though so you need an EB license to tow it which you don’t for the 750kg Rogue. It comes with a bit more standard but is heavier and about R25k more than the Roque.

This one doesn’t look like it could handle the really rough tough that you usually tow on, I would be would be worried about the spare wheel cracking the fibreglass shell as it moves too much even on road. Teardrop campers are excellent options, but most are only suitable for on road conditions.

On the older Gen3 there is a fantastic powerplant upgrade option that blows the Gen4 out of the water. so much so that you outrun a empty gen4 on uphills ect with a loaded trailer such as the vagabond roque. I have one of those, and the same hill Christoff had to gear down to 3rd I stay in 5th gear (1-1 Ratio gear) maybe 4th if I was asleep at the approach of that hill, and still have to keep an eye on my speed to not exceed the national speed limit and to tow safely. Testing quite a number of different towing options I personally think the 2 best towing combinations for the Jimny's (gen3 and gen4) in their standard form is the Moremi XLT and the Skipper Model T. both are quick setup Tent trailer and caravan that you can setup within 5 minutes. And both are Light weight (Maxing out at 500kg)

@barendbekker49015 ай бұрын
@@GetOutGO You are absolutely correct. the 1800 when properly configured packs a nice punch (how the jimny should have been from the floor).. But the Turbo Diesel idea has flown around the community for years .Suzuki actually did release a gen3 diesel for a specific market with the 1.5dci that you find in the duster, np200 and others. Doing such a conversion would not be a issue, if we could get the correct gear ratio's configured (Obviously it will cost a arm and a leg to do that conversion, but some of us are just a little but nuts for these little 4x4's)
