VEHICLE RECOMMENDATIONS

Here is our guide and recommendations vehicle requirements and modifications for a Tag-Along Adventure Tour.

Thanks to Rough As Guts, we have included this

FUEL RANGE CALCULATOR

to cover a wide range of four-wheel-driving conditions.
 

It can take into account:

  • Long-range or standard tanks - for those who like to test how far “empty” really is!

  • Any jerry cans you’ve packed—because extra fuel is never a bad idea

  • The terrain you’re tackling: sand, highways, gravel…  or that random track someone called “easy”

  • Whether you’re towing, and how big the trailer or caravan is

  • Bigger tyres—great for looks, not so great for fuel economy

​​​

Disclaimer: This tool gives rough estimates only and shouldn’t be used as your main trip-planning guide. We can’t guarantee its accuracy, and we take no responsibility if you run out of fuel — that bit’s all yours!
