Found this in a Bunning car park.

Plenty of fuel and water storage.

Our local Bunnings only has 2.1 clearance so it's useless.

If I was younger , I would have that, mainly as to be able to change a tyre, would be much harder when you are an old fart, , then when young, not to mention loading stuff like a genny and fridge into the back, over waist height would almost be impossible for me today.

Does it come with a built-in ATM to pay for the fuel?

Mind you, the way we saw some drivers on the Bruce Highway a couple of days ago, the price of fuel isn't high enough or some people are either over paid or are wasting their bosses' fuel!

 I drove  new prime mover back to Brisbane from Sydney, 7 kilometres per litre with 10 litre motor, this being truck is possibly a 8 litre motor would be doing little better again. PS. My boss at the time worked at kilometres to the litre and then told me I should of done better.

Drove a new Iveco HR with a 25 tonne GVM from Sydney to Melbourne last week.
Had no idea how much fuel it would use so we filled the 500 litre tank ($1,150) but it only used 160 litres for the 980km journey.
That's 16 litres per 100km!

I would imagine that the fuel that thing uses would mean that you only park it once a month.

To a point you only use as much fuel as the load demands . This would tow 4 ton with EASE ! For years !

I would modify it a bit so that the antenna can be operated from the drivers seat.
