Are you happy with the GV Bernie?
I am researching a trailered toad, zook GV or Subaru look OK at the moment but the GV is heavy and thirsty???
Needs to be a real 4wd so not many choices

Thats why I take a 1942 Jeep with me .......

Nar Jon have to get out to read the scales don't I ?
Yes Happy with most aspects of the GV ground clearance in sand only problem I've had ( got bogged ) but they are a true 4x4 with a centre dif like the Range Rovers . We have had two GV's , but thinking of getting a twin cab ute as next vehicle to tow behind us .

We have a 2000 Terios, 4 door, and have had it over forest tracks and humps etc without a worry. I have even used it to pull tree stumps without spinning a wheel, just press the diff lock button. Fuel consumption on regular unleaded 8.5L/100km. Bought it for $4,800 some? years ago with 105,000km on the clock, now has 175,000km. Capable of a 500kg load.

EDIT: Just checked rego papers to be sure : Tare 1000, GVM 1490

Interesting how a vehicle that weighs just over one third of a Land Cruiser Sahara can carry a heavier load.

We are ever so happy with our GV. Have not done any off road stuff in it but might one day.

Very good Terios coming on to the market shortly - with Hitch 'n' Go set up, with 200watts solar panel plus controller plus 100AH battery, with UHF CB, with very upgraded sound/bluetooth system, with added electric windows and remote door locks, with cruise control. 94000 k of which between 25000k and 30000k have been behind the MH (this model keeps the odometer ticking over).

I reckon the premium cover is just a good way to charge us more because our vehicle weighs an extra few kgs
