A monster of a truck that Murray, I bet it loves the juice mate. Around 16 miles to the gallon i would think.
Yep. A big V8 petrol, and with a trailer on you wouldn't get even that. But if you have the money, they are brilliant.
A lot of people use things like Toyota 4x4's or Nissan Patrols with the big turbo diesels in them.
We aren't just going 50 or 100 miles here. People often do a trip around Australia.
And, even though fuel is expensive, it's still the cheapest bit. People spend $200,000 and upwards on a high quality caravan which can go off sealed roads, and a strong tow vehicle. They drive around the Continent, and after a major service they could turn around and do it again! Nissan Patrol.jpg
Nice set of wheels there Murray, some of the trucks here. They could not pull you out of bed.
But if you have the money, they are brilliant.
