Great film! How does Brutus ride on Tarmac? Not sure if the allroad is a better choice for mixed on/off road. Just don’t like the look of twin rear wheels and the loss if space in the back.

How does it perform offroad? Is it heavy? Is it easy to change tires and get it out easily when borged

@Askingfordirections 3 года назад

it is a beast offroad... 6t and got through everything we attempted. never got really badly bogged so the winching was easy. Changing tyres are very straight forward. Just need to do it slowly & safely.

@albertdesalvo7273 3 года назад

@ 5:03, I can clearly see you do not have your diff locks engaged. How come?

@MrHSIE 3 года назад

Yep. I noticed that too. Shouldn’t of needed the winch. Front wheels had a good purchase on dry land.

@jackavalon8366 2 года назад

That's a great question. But the people running this site never seem to answer any questions

@albertdesalvo7273 2 года назад

@@jackavalon8366 Cheers...maybe they're too busy trying to figure out how to engage the diff locks...

@Askingfordirections 2 года назад

it was a tight track leading in, so didn't have the centre diff lock engaged... winched to test out the system, which was new. Better to test it out when there were other options if the system was not fully functioning.

@albertdesalvo7273 2 года назад

@@Askingfordirections Thank you for your explanation👍😎.

@Odan6969 2 года назад

At 5:00 mark you where winching out of a bog, but only one wheel was spinning. Did you break all 3 of the diff locks ?

@Askingfordirections Год назад

didn't have the lockers in... thought I would test the winch and get some experience in a situation that wasn't desperate.

@Askingfordirections 9 месяцев назад

no, just testing the new winch... so of I was in real trouble i knew it would work

@RaduTudoroiu 9 месяцев назад

Hello! Love your setup. Is your truck a 3750mm, or medium wheelbase? It doesn't seem like the LWB 4175mm and it's insanely versatile. The Wheel Bearing caught me off guard tho!

@Askingfordirections 9 месяцев назад

2019 model so no options out of factory. extension done by Earthcruiser, 800mm extension from standard. The wheel bearing was covered under warranty... to be fair, i had done 40,000 +kms at 6t, over some of the harshest roads & tracks back to back in around 9 months... if that was the only major, i could live with that.

@RaduTudoroiu 9 месяцев назад

@@Askingfordirections Great info, thank you! We're currently driving a Sprinter 4x4 around Africa and Europe and we're seriously considering upgrading to an Iveco. My sister already got one, the 2023 4x4 SWB van and that really got me thinking :)) I really enjoyed your travels and it seems like an amazingly versatile setup! Also very jealous of the wheels, it's next to impossible to find some nice 37s for the Iveco in europe!

How much solar on the roof? And what batteries you got onboard? Cheers.

@Askingfordirections Год назад

7 x 130w panels and 800ah Lithium battery pack (2 x400ah)

@francitomerchhustler6202 Год назад

@@Askingfordirections 800ah?! Wow, I had 200 ah (and 520 w Panels) and we even cooked electric in our Sprinter. Why that much? in Australia sun's always shining, I guess ;-) Did you run a AC on Solar?

runs a/c and anything you can carry

@oldeebutgoodee Год назад

I have been very keen on buying an Iveco 4x4 and my research has uncovered some disturbing reports of mechanical and gear failures along with very poor after sales service from Iveco Australia. What deficiencies have you encountered in this vehicle since taking possession, did I see a wheel bearing problem earlier on in this clip. On a brand new vehicle??? That’s a worry.

@brettstone6885 9 месяцев назад

I went to an Iveco dealer recently to enquire about a 4x4 daily and the salesman informed me of Iveco's intended use statement. WTF. not suitable for long distance high speed travel. Basically for mine and farm applications. Shows how much faith they have in there vehicle. Disappointing.
