Introduction.

Post by Imedia »

Hi I am Alan and from Namibia, we have just purchased a 2010 Toyota HiLuxe 2.5 diesel 4x4 double cab and even after my last vehicle (Hyundai 3.5 Terracan) I find it whilst not being a Ferrari from the lights ! its fine for cruising at 120 all day regardless of the load. I am a professional photographer and tend to carry a lot of equipment, rooftop tent, fridge and all the normal stuff campers seem to collect. I am only putting the rooftop on next week and will post my findings. Nice to meet you all. Alan :D:

Hi Alan, welcome, sure you going to love the chats on the forum... while some people believe that travelling at a slower speed is a problem, I tend to find that driving slower helps me to see my surroundings and enjoy them for a couple of seconds longer, and possibly see the photographic opportunities in them.
