Hi , in May next year I am planning to travel the
Canning Stock Route, I have made the trip twice before and concider myself to be a competent person, There will be 3 vehicles in the group including my 2001 model Ford F250. My concern is that the treck notes state 'no OKA'S AKA'S or wide track vehicles' My vehicle is a single cab tray back ute that will carry two adults and one child plus our gear. Do you think that I fall into the too big category? Regards Ken.

hi,Billowaggi,my wife and i did the csr in a 1980 f100 4wd lwb styleside ute in1996.Bigest ploblem was the track width,we had one set of tyres in the groove and the other side tyres making a track in the soft sand,not very good for getting a run up to get over the dunes.Once on the open sections ,no problems, but as mentioned before ,your duco and side mirrors will suffer.suggest you take a spare mirror you can fit /tape on ,incase yours gets broken.go for it and have a good time.regards jim
