Thanks for the input I have decided to go ahead and get the LRT it,s only 125ltr but with room for 3 jerry cans on the c/t if Ineed it.Ishould be fine .

   Thanks for your help Henry

The other thing to consider is how close to the vehicles gvm will the tank push it.

Or you could buy a Prado 120, 180L on board from the factory

Sorry I couldn't resist

Or a Prado 150 with 150 litres and the same range as the 120...........................

Sorry couldn't resist.........

I have a great laugh at people who ask "do I need to buy this", "should l buy that".

Only YOU will ultimately know what you need.

When you ask 20 people you will get 20 different answers. My fluffy dice is better than your mirror mounted air freashener etc.

If you think you need it, get it. Simples..........

I don't think it's "do I need to buy x" but rather will I get any benefit if I buy x. Also asking these sorts of questions not only brings out discussion about the various alternatives but also different ideas and brands.

Doc ,

While I understand your sentiment and agree in many situations I think the OP in this thread gave plenty of context about it.

I mean sales guy is saying "you need this"
Wife is saying "you sure"
And he,s honest enough to say "I just don't know"

So is asking others if they are happy with what they decided .

I see from your sig you are a very experienced 4x4er  and these sort of decisions are prob easy for you and many others but for some its all a mine field so we have to be patient 

And I like your rig  how big is the fuel tank ? Lol

Kind regards
Jet

Graeme, fair call however, what benefits me wont benefit you.
Eg, do I want to convert my patrol wagon into a 4 door ute. Benefits me, but not you.
As for discussion,  read back on some posts, seems a lot of chest beating, mines bigger, better, stronger, longer than yours.
I've done my research,  compared, made lists pro/con, and then purchased, and not the cheapest nor most popular. I bought what suits ME.
Another example, i've had a very bad run with tyredog tpms yet others have had no issue. I'm not going to tell you to buy that one, nor tell you not to buy it. I bought it again after research because I needed it. Replaced with sensatyre.

Thanks jet, it's been an evolution over the years.  I've got long range main and sub. I still also carry 3 jerries, almost 300lt. however, I do a fair bit of remote travel.

I,ve really taken a liking to the cut down wagons , and your is another top example 

That's a lot of fuel bet that hurts when you fill up but only once a month 

Great touring range and with the way deisel is these days great to be ale to fill up at known servos

If you think you need it, you don't.
If you actually do require it, you wouldn't be on here asking

I had big tanks (180L) in my old D21 (1988 and 1994) Pathfinders and they were handy...especially when towing. But the tanks weighed a stack more than the originals, even when empty, so a suspension upgrade was required and both vehicles were always that much closer to GVM.

With injected LPG on my Hilux there is decent touring range - of course with some limitations - and cheap day-to-day urban and interstate running

Hi Doc evil, Thanks for your input, I agree with your sentiment only I can decide and I have thanks to all the help from the experts ,people like you and all the other campers who have been there and done it.

My reason for asking witch I was a bit reluctant to do, was because when I was looking to buy a C/T I looked at 2nd hand ones first and a few had brand new annex never been used I also met campers who had been around OZ and never used there annex said it was a waste of money also the fancy kitchen s they bought they wished they had,nt. Those observations helped me when I eventually got one .

I thought there may be a similar argument to not buy a lrt but the overwhelming consensus by the people who know from experience is to go ahead witch I have so thanks to all I appreciate it.

Regards Henry
