IT ALL ADDS UP
I think you can see where this is going . These items are what most travellers would consider being the bare necessities . We haven ’ t included extras , such as canopies , winches , additional luggage , dual batteries , or any other items you may want to store in your car .
Looking back at the vehicle list , it is possible to make the following observations :
The Ford Ranger , Nissan Navara and VW Amarok are at the lower end of the scale . If you put anything more than a fridge and a slab of beer in them , there ’ s scant remaining capacity for anything else .
