Mazda Bravo B2600 Duel cab ute

Hi Mazda,

I owned a ford badged 92 model years ago.

In 4wd mode I found the vehicle to be very cabaple. But then I treaded lightly with the vehicle as I had no modifications on the car.

Only things I had to look out for was:

* ground clearance only because I did not want to damage car
* going through water because my car did not have a snorkel.
* if running standard tyres, make sure you deflate tyres for assisted traction

Hope this helps

Thanks

Amen to the above also.....I had a 91 model for about 9 years.......we had quite a lot of trips to the bush in ours......without testing it to the extreme, I gained the impression it would go anywhere that anything else in the class would go.......in the right hands, it would stack up as well as most I gather (in the un-modified's that is). We put some budget steel rims and some wider rubber on it too....turned it into a sand demon - with pressures down around 18 psi and little cargo, it would float across the top of soft dunes like a boat (see this pic made for my mate Bob). Only thing is.........if you want to keep it long term, look after it really well re servicing....use good lubricants....I don't think the factory design or build them for long term consumers - it is really a commercial workhorse in my view, despite how well the domestic versions may be tarted up.

I agree with Banjo. I have a ford badged 1999 turbo diesel dual cab tray back which was bought for farm work. Since then we have put on bfg 225 A/Ts (the original rubber is hopeless), a long range tank, dual batteries, a snorkel and raised the breathers but no major mods (see rig pic). It hasn't stopped us going anywhere we wanted to and even pulls a camper reasonably well. The big benefit is much better fuel consumption than the cruisers and a better variety of uses (the tray is set up as a rough camper as well).

They are more delicate than the heavyweights and we service every 5000k but have had no mechanical problems at all.

I wouldn't think the Coral Bay track wil present any problem at all.

Happy travelling.
