As an American, it's great seeing you guys really putting our big trucks to the test. Love it!

[@carldryan]

Your trucks are dog shit….wouldn’t take one off the M1

[@RedDog-e7v]

Big trucks lol, a big truck is a Kenworth pulling a quad

[@darcydennis5703]

What a pack of legends! Can’t thank you guys enough for helping us smash the Tele in our troopy! Super appreciative of all the support and the absolute highlight of our lap around Aus. Was awesome to run into you guys and if ever you’re in VIC the beers are on us!

Love it. I have a 2007 Ram 5.9 Cummins diesel. It surprises people how well they do off road when outfitted and driven correctly. They are amazing vehicles and a blast to drive. I sold my new Chevy Duramax for the old pre-emissions Dodge Cummins!

Good morning from Maine, US ✌🏼😎 Another great one. Sad it’s over.

Great episode boys! Some of those American rigs are HUGE!

Awesome one as always, good wheeling, good fun.......thanks for the share 🤙👍

Hi Matt, how about a new build series converting one of the big single cab US rigs into a motorhome by modifying the SkyRV 9ft or possibly 11ft and fitting to the back rather than a custom canopy. It would allow a big boat to be towed while living in comfort.

I used to have a mobile auto repair company and I would use the old school bumper jacks which is like a highlift jack just smaller or a scissor jack. Those work awesome at breaking beads down.

Lads, awesome ep! Can't choose. The American trucks are very cool but the ever reliable Toyota might just nudge in front. Unless you mean comfort....then it's the big rigs 100% 🤙

Good on you boys for cleaning up after pigs seriously people don’t understand the impact rubbish has on the environment and especially the Australian wildlife #respectcountry#indigenous people who goes through and cleans the place up when everyone has gone back to your own homes..🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽💯

Dose Australia only have mid size trucks. An do they only know how to drive right hand ?

[@specializedadventuresafari277]

Your huge Rig is good for bugger all up here in the NT except for the usual towing on a few corrugated dirt roads or heaps of bitumen miles with a caravan. These can be done with a 2wd van or a work ute at a far lower cost than running this POS. Hilariously it would not even fit down most of our tracks going to the better fishing holes, swimming spots, or pig hunting tracks either.........especially on the more spectacular locals only ones that aren't all over the socials and not yet shown on Google maps latest government updates just yet. But I'd still love to see you bring it up here after a decent wet to try and drive a few spots while the runoff is in full swing. I can offer to show you a spot where the patriot camper gumbys 6x6 had a few hours of mud pie action to test it out. Aswell as an even better fishing hole on a far more treacherous lap of the Howard river system instead..... they both fish well around mid April. While the water is receding back to normal levels after they have been flooded for months. Our blacksoil flats are a bit of a mission even with lightweight purpose built 4x4 recovery rigs on 37s or 40s ..... but even then there's bits of it which are still undriveable a lot of the time as even Side by sides or quads still have issues in it..... I'm sure seeing a 4 plus tonne vehicle on its chassis and you racing an incoming spring tide for its recovery before it is halfway up the doors would be a good bit of entertainment and I reckon it'd definitely get a few views and likes for your channel 😅

[@theexplorelife]

Sounds like a good time 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@zekesteggall2176]

Hi is it possible to know the weight of your truck and the F450? We’re not sure if we’re going to be too heavy at 6.5T. Thanks

[@Tyronebol-s5s]

I love the content of the USA cars but I would love to drive up there but can’t afford it 😢

So what was Flooded and what stopped you in your tracks....🤷 Bit of a click bait title... Good episode anyway, and good to see the Big Rigs having a go up there.... i thought they would struggle more than what they did. Glad you picked up the rubbish....👍👍

[@jonathanpalmer228]

Maybe the swimming hole did?

The bridge stopped us…for a bit 🤫

How does that chev go without a snorkel and water ingress

[@gamache1101]

It has the Duramax engine so the scoop on the hood is the intake.

[@SimonPommer-tc8vo]

Just a thought! It might be funny in your eyes to have a joke at the expense of kings gear! Yes not the greatest but not everyone has sponsors or has $300k worth of cars or more but everyone works hard to get what they can get just to get out on the tracks and out camping! Remember not everyone on this page has your $$$ so stay humble! Remember the little guy who one day might have the $$ to buy your stuff

[@theexplorelife]

Has nothing to do with how expensive the product is but the fact that it has let them down and they’ve left it in the bush. Kings is great as a budget option for many, but unfortunately it’s also the most common brand of product I’ve seen left on the side of the track

[@craigmooney2630]

[@adamsmith5565]

Love the content guys. In all for seeing new thing tried but just because you can make it fit doesn’t mean I think you should have. That F450 is really ripping up tracks unnecessarily.

Leave them to tow giant caravans there to expensive to fix $700 taillight lens for dodge ram 😂try justifying that, we have more than enough good capable Japanese 4x4s.

[@Dazza-u4c]

You’re obviously uneducated on the subject, the last “ Dodge” made Ram left the production line in 2010. Ram and Dodge split into seperate brands on Oct 2009. They are manufacturer in ex CHRYSLER plants. So no a “ Dodge Ram” tail light is not $700.🙄

I am in England, i have an old N70 Hilux with factory rear diff lock, your down under Pedders lifted heavy duty suspension.. Odd other little thing added, winch, bar work.. I cant see the reason for the huge Yank stuff, its like ego and how much you can spend.. Ok if i had that sort of money sure there must be better and more fun stuff to buy and mod. Cool video but there must be 100s of places you guys know and can go, that no one on youtube does over and over... i think its the third different lot of channels that have shown the same places this week.. I have never been but i feel i could give a guided tour lol.

[@adventureunlimited]

Main reason people buy them is for GVM and GCM. And a bit of ego. Old tele track is iconic but done to death on KZbin, plenty of others out there getting further off the beaten track!
