its actually sitting on the tray with the Ford..  So its actually 260kg distributed on 4 points of contact, so 65 kg on each.  Although its high up, and will drastically reduce fuel consumption, its probably well within the Fords load capacity (along with all the other stuff he has fitted to it). 

If I were going to do something like that (which I have no interest in)  that type of vehicle would be my choice, not a Hilux/Ranger/Etc.

After mentioning it on another forum, here's how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTgBPn9KYLo!

But ...

He says that the trailer is 30kg & the rack is 70 = 100kg, then you have the boat at ~50kg, outboard at ~60, & "all his gear" (including an electric trolling motor, batteries etc, so lets call that another 50kg? ::)

All up, that's 260kg sitting on the roof!!! :o

I don't know just which car he has, apart from a Toyota dual-cab, but guessing at a HiLux, https://www.whichcar.com.au/toyota/hilux/accessories/roof-racks says: The HiLux’s roof load limit is 75kg, and that weight has to include the weight of the rack. So if your rack weighs 30kg, that’s 45kg of gear you can carry.

75 vs 260kg & Toyota 4wds have a high centre of gravity to start with! ::)

No, thanks! >:D

Want to be a little bit careful, apparently no after sales support. Apparently they only operate a wharehouse here, and as they are an international company consumer affairs have no power over them according to someone on another forum who had issues with a dud battery.

If you're looking for a bargain fridge battery Itechworld have their 54ah lithium on special for $200. Less a $20 voucher for first time customers. I've never seen them under $450. Before.

& when you decide that your F-250 FX4 Super Duty isn't quite big enough, what do you do ???

You put your tinny - & it's trailer!!! :o - up on the roof, of course!  ::)

Oh, & they were also towing the Vacationer Dakar that's in the background!, so I'm guessing that all up, that's close to $750k sitting there ???

And if you want to thrash Melbourne, you just need a 19 year old with dash.

That’s how you steal a game with 22 seconds to go! Took the grin of Sam Mitchells face.
