New 4x4 pickups coming.
(Preview)
I see some media talk of GWM, KIA and Hyundai entering the 4x4 pickup market. There are images on the net. They say they will be direct competition the Toyota and the Ford Ranger. What I haven't seen is any hint of tow rates. Has anyone seen specs for these pickups?
HAVAL H9 has a tow rating of 2500kg. I'm g...

The following is an extract from the latest Grey Nomad newsletter. The Bruce Highway claims another unfortunate victim. This road is in need of an urgent upgrade.

Stockman pod trailer

Although I'm happy with sleeping in the back of my x-trail. I'll never have room to upgrade from an esky to a fridge, plus I can't store extra things on a roof rack because I can't physically get things down. So I'm limited to where I can travel too without a proper spare ext. So I'm toying with the idea of b...

Sadly, very sadly, my poor 2003 Jackaroo is finding the task of hauling my van more than it can easily handle and I think it will not be long before I am forced to replace it. I no longer have more than a passing interest in cars; providing it has AC and a comfortable driving seat that's all I want. I intend to...

Should you have a RV license to drive any R?
(

(Preview)
OK rather than hijacking another thread I thought I would start a license discussion. So if you buy a 4x4 and a caravan, any combination, you can hit the road without anything but a car license. But if you buy a motorhome/campervan and it's over 4.5t then you have to have a endorsed license. So where's...
