    I think we may all have difference ideas of what is off road. I do a lot of single track dirt, just did Muswellbrook , Gundy , Timor , Nundle Tamworth , followed by Tamworth Moree via Upper Horton Terry Hi Hi. This car sure isn't as dust proof as my Touareg. Off blacktop handling is very good and rattles are few. This trip I had my OME 22 wheels on, they got a bit cut up on the side walls .

Had a small roof rack also which carried extra spare tyre and canvas bag with clothes etc in it. Main problem was not being able to remove rear seats which restricted how much he could carry. So most of the food and all of the recovery gear and other stuff were carried by me in my D4 and our mate in his 79 series trayback.
    The RRS ate Big Red and was easily the most powerful and economical of the bunch. Funnily the only car that had it's bonnet up was the Landcruiser, the battery mount came loose!
    Hi discojools
    Above you say "Main problem was not being able to remove rear seats " What was the issue exactly as this is I would like to do to extend the cargo space of my MY17 RRS
    Thanks for your input !

    I think the problem was that the rear seats have sensors in them to let the computer know whether they are occupied or not. I did ask my dealer about this and they couldn't tell me how to do it. But that was 5 years ago. There might be more info on it now though. I will ask my indie about it, he might know.
