Great size and I am sure will get to good use.
Enough room for car, parts, tools, bed, kitchenette, lounge and a stripper pole.

I think you are compensating for a lack of size somewhere else.

Yes it's a March 2001 MRT. It's bare inside so plenty to work with. It's got angled reinforcing from where the bed is to the floor about 600 back.
Did you have trouble with one? |

Dean I got about 25/100k with the petrol V8 F350 that came with the trailer... I'm selling it and gunna use my diesel F250 to tow it. My 6cyl gets 12/100k empty and 17/100k towing the other enclosed trailer. |

Yes mine started flexing right at the front wall and we had to get all the bracing replaced, when they made the trailer all the bracing was all thin wall so it just started tearing apart. Last thing you want with all your good toys inside. The fix was cheap in comparison to letting it fall apart.
Mine was same sort of vintage so would pay you to check. |

i would be swapping to the diesel as well lol i averaged 16 lt /100 with the ranger while towing .
but i reckon i can improve that as i was pretty hard on the throttle up the hills while still hitting 110 ks i reckon if i sat on a 100 ks the fuel usage would drop a fair bit .. this is the first diesel ive owned but gee these things have some pull so i can only imagine how good the f 250 would be like .

Towing my loaded trailer at 4.5 tonne with my 3 1/2 tonne 7.3 over 600ks gets me 21L to the 100 with the boot in it!

Bubble bursting time.
We just had an election in the NT for our equivalent of a state government.
The side that was in is now out and the side that was out is now in.
The side that was out, but is now in, announced today that unrestricted speed limits on parts of the track between Darwin and the Alice will be removed.

It will depend what permit they give you, but I would say no.
Plus the open limit will be gone before next year, all thanks to our new Labor Gov.
No deaths related to speed, but they still say it needs to go.
