[QUOTE="blisters, post: 531053, member: 4992"] If you want no limits a lot of routes do not recommend trailers. Some 4wd channels say trailers are banned on some routes but I do not have first hand onfo on this. You'll have to decide which way you want to go considering your travel expectations then select a vehicle. Keep in mind towing limits and vehicle gvm/gcm. Landcruisers around 1996 started having 3500kg towing and the gcm = gvm+towing. Newer modern utilities don't follow that rule as the gcm is less than gvm+towing. Packed and fueled up consider your weight and gvn A landcruiser troopy/105 would be my first choice as they have good interior space . The troopy fuel capacity should be good as standard. Tbe complication is the months you'll have wife and kids so you'll need to free up seats and must have an rv troopy if you go that way. If you have three across the back the 105 gxl has a centre over shoulder belt. So it'll come down to how you manage space during that time but you might have to have a trailer but not necessarily a camper if you tent/swag. Maybe hire a camper for those few months? Jon [/QUOTE]
