Very nice to see that GMC keeping up with the other vehicles. It wouldn't be my first choice for this type of driving, but it's good to see it is capable.
A few friends of the Misadventure crew have actually just had a good look over the military spec G-Wagons and were incredibly impressed. Their words were 'Looks indestructible from underneath' and as specialist 4WD Mechanics I think they'd have a pretty good idea.
Misadventure 4WD Not sure if the ministry of Finance could allow ;-) How much and now many K's?.... Bit worried about the Disco being not reliable? or am i listening too much to Toyota owners?..
I love the way these guys use normal sized tyres and tackle trails with skill and care. So much better than these massively lifted trucks on huge tyres that make everything pointlessly easy. Great channel, well done
That's always been the motto - Cars we drive every day for work and touring can also do the tough stuff if driven well and with some careful technical analysis of the tracks. we don't always get it right - but we try
+sjt275 that section is all state forest mate. We are always very respectful of the Nat Parks boundaries with the dog. If i could suggest that perhaps you find a more polite way to ask about the situation and get all the facts before you jump to conclusions and give people a blast.
I know everyone knocks it but my favourite was the GMC. Still the best truck there. Still gets anywhere and starts to tow things the others can't even go near.
The best? I wouldn't take anything away from the GMC……… She tows well, she's reliable, but she is a bit of a fat girl on the trapeze! Did well on those tight trails though!
I just had a 2012 BT50 that I traded for a 76 series wagon to tow my 3.0T 22ft caravan but wanted a 2005 GMC HD 2500, 6.6 Duramax. I sold the BT because beople are already getting cracked chassis from towing the supposed "rated 3.5T towing capacity". Hardly rated at all. But sadly the 76 series is a slug as well. I am waiting till Chev open up in Australia properly as hopefully the prices come down to trade to one.
Kaegis What's a BT50? I'm from Canada, I'm not familiar with that. I do wish Toyota would export the Land cruiser series to Canada with the diesel options, we don't have any diesel Toyota's here. As well, it would be nice to have a Cruiser just for the solid front axle.
Ed ibleginch A BT50 is a vehicle Mazda supply but is built by Ford and is a re-badged Ford Ranger. The latest model in Aus is a 3.2L 5cylinder turbo diesel. Goes very well although a little small to tow 3.5T daily as now people are having trouble with cracked chassis. Just a race to the "capacity numbers game" with manufacturers. My Avitar is the BT50 I just traded for the 76 series Cruiser.
yeah, I googled it! I wish we had access to the same vehicles you guys get! I can see why you would be interested in the GMC. They are a heavier truck with plenty of torque and power. I would love to have a 76 series Cruiser. The closest I can get is a FJ or a 4Runner, Which I have traded my 07 FJ for a 2014 4runner. But I really want a diesel!
I subscribed because of this.
Go the LANDYS!!!
GMC should stick to towing horse floats...
Black Betty came out of retirment for a recent attempt on Mt Walker only to bust a front CV. Some footage coming soon.

A RHD Sierra? Now there's something you don't see everyday!
Marvelous videos! Would be fun with a motorbike, too :-D

Great videos, that red Discovery makes it look very easy!
It is currently for sale and I'm happy to put you in touch with the owner who has switched to a diesel D2.

The D2 has been very reliable with only a few minor issues due to wear and tear. I'll get Kev to jump on and msg you the details.
Cool thanks.. Its unlikey but,,,, who knows!
Stock as a rock
No lockers on the D2. Just a beast with well set up suspension and good driving ;-)
great video!
Great video! Hey is that 200 still stock in the drive train? Or lockers?

Seems like the 2500 probably tears up the trail a lot more. Not really a great choice for an offroader.
some awsome shit !!!!! yeah. where in newnes is that?
That GMC is a little big for those trails huh. It did a lot better than I expected.
It surprised a few of us too. She's a big rig but all that mumbo under the bonnet helps.
I can't find part 4?
That was some crazy wheel lift. Good work.
This makes me want to buy a 4x4 so bad. Just...watching all your videos. I'm saving for a g-wagen, bet you don't get any of those :P
Ok this is getting stupid can’t watch part 2 or 3 with out paying not right
Hi Troy - RUclips has changed it's policy on paid vids and everything should revert after December 4.
Hope the GMC didn't damage his tip!
I really enjoyed this video
Awesome trucks, I want my discovery 2 to outfitted like yours!
Mitsubishi FTW !!!
Bloody great guys. Awesome tracks. Thanks for sharing
Any lockers on the D2 or just CDL and TC?
Wow, yet another awesome Misadventure video!
Great video Guys, as always Scott makes look easy!!
Don't encourage him Redback. We all know the mighty D4 has more to do with that than the driver ;-)
the dog is annoying
You are in a NATIONAL PARK ! get that BLOODY dog on a leash !!!!
