Hi there expo forum! I am looking To build a adventure vehicle with the following criteria.
4wd either full time awd with low range or ideally 2wd with 4 lo and hi
Space for 2 adults and a little extra ( extra cab short box ) but no single cab maybe a crew also.
Will be used to be used as a base vehicle eg everything we need for backcountry hiking and 4wd adventuring.It will not see a huge about of serious 4x4 just access to trail heads and what not so will not need to be a rock crawler. I expect to use it 50% dirt 50% pavement on a larger 20,000kms road trip around north America.
Something big enough to sleep in ( either canopy or back seats folded flat ) occasionally but will be tenting it mostly . Would consider a roof top tent so not a deal breaker if its not larger enough to sleep in with gear.
Gas or diesel auto or standard.
Budget around 5-7 so I am looking at
Any suggestions on ideal vehicle would be great.
Wont be running a fridge or anything that will require dual batteries or solar and we will be storing water in 20l totes and we will never be more than 2-3 days from civilisation so extra fuel isn't a huge deal.
