Hi Brendan
Have you ever seen what usually sits in the back of Station Utes and tray tops, and has done so for decades, open to all the elements of nature, as
well as getting covered in dust, diesel and anything else that comes along and a sitting spot for station dogs.
Next time you head bush, ask people that use them 24/7.
I will not mention its name, but trust me it is not the plastic type fridges and have been on the Australian market for over 50 years.
Those that beg to differ have never had a real trip to a true outback station to see what they can trust, rugged and built to last.
Cheers
Stephen

You actually have a choice...engel or trailblazer. If I had to pick a solid. all weather back of ute fridge the Trailblazer would be the one. This new ARB stainless steel one will get incredibly hot...engel tried stainless but realised it just got way too hot with sun shining on it.

Hi Bigfish
The stainless steel Engels were for the South African market and only had limited numbers that were shipped into Australia.
Engel is the only fridge that has been on the Australian market for over 50 years and is the fridge that you will find in the back of station vehicles.
As to my statement above, people that head bush need to see for themselves the Engel's on the back of station vehicles, and then ask the people that drive those vehicles why they have used these fridges for decades.
Life in the outback is so very different for a station fridge that is used 24/7 compared to outback tourists, like nearly everyone here that only ever visit the outback in the cooler months of the year, and not week after week when temperatures very often exceed 50 degrees.
Cheers
Stephen
