I hope you read the owners Facebook reviews of these, terrible warranty, service & parts. Then terrible resale to add to it. Anyway good luck guys and please provide honest reviews on all of it, don’t pick and choose like some. purpose built to tow, can’t even handle 320 on the ball

This has been taken into consideration and I'm sure its not the only make of vehicle on Facebook etc that have problems. I'm not sure what you mean about "can't handle 320 on the ball"
Very nice, it's big but very nice, good on you guys,
Great to see well deserving, down to earth people like yourselves, who put in the hard yards each week to bring us your videos. Well done and enjoy! 👍
looks good Derrick and Sue. don't do suspension until you do your bar and canopy otherwise you will need to do it again.

Sensible advice

Thats not entirely true. We’re building our third Silverado right now. If you take into consideration the weight of what’s going on, it doesn’t matter if you do it before or after. Lift, tyres and suspension is part 1 of the build 👍🏼

@AussieDestinationsUnknown you're both correct. But we all know how plans change, IE : you may decide on a heavier boat and/or motor, and/or fridge(s) etc etc. You can make an initial guess sure, but you risk under gunning it, or overcooking it and suffering an unnecessarily harsher ride. Much better to wait to get a closer fit IMHO. I have a GMC Sierra 2500 HD Denali, same running gear as the Chevies but with the factory offroad suspension pack upgrade, and I don't understand why a vehicle that is designed for heavy hauling way beyond what we are allowed here in the nanny country should even need such expensive suspension upgrades.
Love your channel, it has inspired me to start my own as we are just starting our lap.
I still believe that towing a lighter van that can use a more common in Aus vehicle, that costs half the price of these in up front costs makes more sense to me. But you have been around and you want to tow one of the heaviest vans out there, hope you are very happy and all works well for you.

Thanks so much, yes absolutely doable with smaller van and less costly set-up. We often chat about the different set ups we have had and loved them all. As long as you are travelling amd out there experiencing this awesome country, then doesn't really matter the set up.

Weight for every van tower is an issue if you go over 20ft and have 3500 limit. Living in a shoe box 19ft van is just such a bad idea when constantly lapping aus. Also having to use scales for every item added to a van gets tired, I am there with a family van. It totally sucks, this way headroom to spare exists. Go over the limit, no insurance and jail if someone dies in an accident. Or buy a US 2500 plus truck and the problem disappears.

Like you to try Billy Goats Bluff track in the Chev like you did with the Cruiser. The Chev will definitely have less 4wd ability. Maybe more sealed roads in the future? That’s ok too.

@@ntknow argh - such a common misconception- these trucks are INSANE off road! Sure you don’t fit down super tight tracks but they do a damn good job of doing what they’re designed to do. We’ve been touring full time for 4 years and spend most of our time off road 🤷🏼♀️

So glad you got this tow rig. We are looking at the same so we will be following you to see what we need to do. Glad to see a down to earth couple doing this.... unlike the other lot
Congratulations guys good to see you saw the light and bought an American Ute,they are just amazing built for the job. We have had 6 land cruisers and switched 7 years ago for a Ram 2500 best vehicle we ever owned. Enjoy Wayne and Loretta
Adding a GenY articulated hitch or an Airsafe Hitch (we use that one) will stop the porpoising altogether… not being rigid, airbag ride is less stress on your caravan A-Frame….welcome to the club
Congratulations Sue, Derrick & Bobby 🙌 I was right, picked it. We are on the fence. Have a 300 Cruiser and we absolutely love our car but that extra $35K ahhhhh…. We shall see. You look so happy 😁!! Ohh forgot to ask, how do you feel about parts when travelling, that’s what worries me. Toyota is everywhere & also you need to 23l of ad blue into approx 3000km.
Awsum new tow rig. Fully understand why you need to be able to carry more weight. Having a tow rig that has plenty of pulling power makes travelling so much easier & stress reducing. Cheers
Congrats. Welcome to the club. We tow our zone with a 2500hd and love it. Always feel safe and relaxed. Good decision but watch how much gvm you have on a nb1 licence.

Good choice guys. Many people go for the 1500 versions of the big 4 and end up regretting it. Yes, the 1500s do have a good towing capacity, but they suffer with restricted payloads once medìum to heavy vans are hooked up.
