Carrying their Wedgetail slide-on camper through deep sand, thick mud, and heavily rutted outback roads, the extended wheelbase delivered the exact stability and reliability they needed.

They are very happy with the extended dual cab's performance, reporting that the trip went incredibly well.

Is this the ultimate touring setup?

We love a BT-50, but we love them even more with an extra 310mm of stability. This extension means you can fit a 2187mm tray on a Dual Cab, perfect for those heavy slide-on campers. No more sagging, just smooth sailing to the Red Center.

Check out this fantastic build in collaboration with Tommy Campers, Southern Volkswagen Reynella, Pedders Suspension & Brakes and Adaptive Manufacturing. This Amarok (Pan Am) XL is designed for customers wanting a more capable and practical touring rig.

Our Amarok XL wheelbase extension of 298mm allows the larger tray capacity of 2100+mm in length, creating the foundation for the Tommy Camper S6X slide-on camper while improving load distribution and overall vehicle balance.

This vehicle is now on display at Southern Volkswagen Reynella, so if you've been considering a premium touring setup, its a perfect opportunity to go see it in person.

Always good to see our builds out and about across the country.

Captured at Mullengandra, just north of Albury on the way home from a Victorian trip, Lenโ€™s Ford Ranger LWB with HiDrive canopy, towing their caravan with ease.

Thanks for sending this through, Len. We appreciate you sharing your journey and hope there are plenty more adventures ahead!
