Would you take one of these on a typical outback corrugated road?

Sometimes you want flexibility, sometimes you want strength. How long do you think it would last before it snapped in the middle?

It does move around a bit doesn't it.

I saw the first one of these I have ever seen in Australia this week.

Toyota are master copiers, now they're copying the Triton.

I'd take one of those over one of the yank junk heaps of crap above. At least it's 90 year old technology and honest about it, rather than 50 year old technology attempting to look new.

And let's face it, those old cars did go everywhere.

Yep , especially with a bit of help.

Great test track, would be interesting to see how the Iveco handles that, but as sheerluck says, how would those yank trucks cope with hundreds of km of road like that.

The worst bit we copped lately was between Newman and Roy Hill a couple of months back, where we passed a road train that could go no more than 20kph and it was bouncing all over the place, a Statesman was riding in the soft stuff on the far left going about the same speed :eek: .

Wonder how long the chassis would be crack free with a slide on camper?, in the test it's empty. With 3-600kg+ bolted down but higher up to put even more twist on the chassisit could either permanently bend or snap depending upon chassis grade.Could be some interesting warranty claims.;)

That's just the 1920's version of the Prius Bob. ;)
