4WD Trucks Day on Lancelin Sand Dunes / Iveco Daily vs Isuzu NPS vs Mercedes vs Mitsubishi Canter

The Travel Australia in a Truck 4WD Fun Day on Lancelin Sand Dunes - we put the Iveco Daily, Isuzu NPS, Mitsubishi Canter and Mercedes 1222A to the test on the sand dunes. The Iveco, NPS and Merc get bogged and we have to snatch strap them out, and also use the Max Trax to dig the Iveco out of the deep. The day was just to get out, experience the soft sand in the trucks and have a good time.

Enjoy!

Hi guys. Simon (Mercedes Truck) said to say hi. We are taking delivery of our new EuroCargo 4x4 in about a month. We are building an Expedition Truck on that. Cool video.

thanks for the video it just reminded me on how gutless all the trucks are. Why there are no large engine options? Even the OKA is slow!

Many things to add about your snatch strap recovery.
1. Distance and safety. Keep all others away from live loads at all times.
2. Don't take the weight then go.
A snatch strap is designed to conectically load and recover. In other words.
Use your radio to establish contact .have a plan in place then
Drive like ya stole it.
The snatch strap will work in your favour. Thus eliminating 17 worn tracks from failure. It's at that point the recovery veichle would not of been stuck. Because the worn tracks would not of been there. 😎😉

Would have been nice to hear the noise of both trucks pulling the stuck trucks out instead of the same constant music lol was it that windy?

Looks like lots of fun...But, I must draw attention to some extremely unsafe practices when using snatch straps. Please, keep everyone, and that includes pets, well away, at least 1.5 times away as the strap length. Always use dampeners on straps and finally, the most dangerous practice of all that happens on this video is people, many times, stepping over a live strap. A live strap is one that is connected to both vehicles, no matter whether they are moving or not. Walk around the vehicle, never cross a live strap. People get killed using these tools, so please attend training from accredited trainers so we avoid any terrible incidents that are preventable. It's all fun until someone gets seriously injured or killed. Not trying to be a smart arse, but having been through professional training, and witnessed many a recovery, all I want is for people to enjoy these vehicles and go home safe and happy.

the Iveco what gears diff locks etc were you in going up the steep hill - what was successful?

[kenshin-]

I saw after the maxtrac demonstration you went inside slop. I have an Iveco daily 4x4 as well but going on Perth beaches with there steep side angles really scares me cause we are so high up. Is it your experience that it would be fine going on those angles and it's safe and It's all in my head

As “overlanders” people should have spent a lot more time doing self recovery procedures… just my 2 cents

Why do you speak about psi? Oz is a a role model of metrication, keep your standards high!
