« Last post by Mace on Yesterday at 01:56:35 PM »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.

« Last post by Fizzie on Yesterday at 11:35:25 AM »After mentioning it on another forum, here's how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTgBPn9KYLo!
(Oops, sorry about the colour!)
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!!!
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!

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.

« Last post by Fizzie on May 20, 2024, 02:34:06 PM »& 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!!! - 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
