This will go down in history as the first time an AUS overlander has been jealous of a US available vehicle...

You are not going to get must sympathy from us, mister 70 series, Defender, Patrol, 105, hi-lux, everything available with a diesel guy

Human nature ! all ways we like to have, what it is not available to us.
In my lits all ways was the Unimog, the Defender/Isuzu3.9 130 and the BMW R1150GS
I have A Disco Tdi300 and sold the R1150GS after a lot of enjoyment.
I guess that I have to make a compromise and chase a Defender 130 and forget about the Unimog
Then again the Canter for $A$ 30000 is not a bad proposition

I love that big Orange Mog! I just called and left a voice mail for the salesman...

Even without knowing the price, I know I can't afford it. I would have to mortgage the house, and my wife would not like that ☹ But I bet is get better off-highway MPG than my 4Runner ☺

I'll have to tell myself it's not the right truck because it's only a regular cab instead of an extended cab. The wheelbase seems about perfect. I have driven plenty of full-sized regular cab long-bed trucks (131-135-in. wheelbase) into the backcountry, done some challenging trails and they didn't have near the clearance of this beast.

To stop the infatuation I must tell myself repeatedly that we will soon have cool factory diesel 4x4 options from Jeep & Toyota.

Redline.Why Jeep & Toyota are not available in diesel in USA?
To tell you the truth I became aware of this problem when I joined the Portal.
It is inexplicable to me
Make it a political issue for the next election
Going to the issue of the Unimog, there is no question, it is a beautiful beast and here in Oz is too expensive.
Cheers

If I had the answer to that question I would be a fortune teller :-) But I do think we are on the brink of a light-duty diesel break-through here in the USA.

Lets put it this way, If they are trying to sell it as new the price will be somewehere very close to what I paid for a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1600 SQFT house on a true 1/2 acre lot in Marietta GA (20 minutes from Down town Atlanta and on the good side of town) 12 years ago.

Its going to be $80k or more.

[Redline]

Yep, that's what I figure. It may be in great condition, but it's not 'new' with 8,700-miles on it. But 'new' wouldn't it have been well over 100k?
