THE KOKODA FORCE II
X-TRAIL GT: A BRAND
NEW, BANG-FOR-BUCK
OFFROADER.
| WORDS AND IMAGES: MAX TAYLOR
ARMOUR-PLATED
Kokoda Caravans has a bold
claim for its newest caravan,
the Force II X-Trail GT.
“It’s our toughest van, it
has our most popular layout,
and its offroad abilities
are unbelievable,”
marketing manager
Chloe Mamo said.
In fact, the Force II X-Trail
GT is so new that the one we
hitched to a 200 Series was
only the second ever built.

Any offroad caravan worth its
salt will have decent underbody
protection. And the Force II
X-Trail GT has acres of it –
anything in harm’s way has
been armour-plated, including
the dual 95L water tanks.
The checkerplate theme
continues up front. On the
nose of the van, you’ll find
a checkerplate storage box
(the lid lifts on gas struts),
along with dual jerry can
holders also fabricated out
of this material. Two 9kg gas
cylinders are protected by a
mesh stoneguard. The coupling,
meanwhile, is the venerable
D035 – a good choice.
Yet more external storage
is provided by way of a right-
through tunnel boot with
– you guessed it – a
checkerplate floor.
In terms of suspension, Kokoda
offers five different 3500kg
