Freight Train

The tools we previously used to travel the country have changed quite a bit.

- Dan Everett

From the very first time man stepped out of a cave and used a club to knock a dinosaur on the head, we’ve been using tools to make life easier for ourselves. From the early days of horses tilling fields saving the backbreaking labour of hand digging, to the mighty 40 Series Land Cruisers helping tame the Snowy Mountains and giving the old horses a rest, mechanical advantage has been one of the biggest things at mankind’s disposal, helping us get our work done faster so we can spend more time doing, well, anything but working.

The behemoth of a 4x4 you’re running your eyes over right now is an extension of that idea. A bigger hammer, for a bigger nail, so the owner can live a bigger life.

The idea is pretty simple. With a caravan behind him and some of the most stunning but challenging sand islands in front, Sean knew if he wanted to spend more time kicking back at camp and less time struggling through soft inland tracks, he’d need one hell of a rig to get the job done. Actually, a hell of a rig might be an understatement.

Standing nearly three metres tall, weighing more than three tonnes and a wheelbase that’d damn near fit a Jeep Wrangler between it, the 2018 F250 served as the perfect platform to haul whatever Sean wanted to haul, wherever he wanted to haul it.
