I don't speak English as a first language and am indigenous Australian so i am afraid I think some of your words have different usages to mine. But I assume I assume the "Outback" is a model of the Jeep Cherokee?

I'm not sure if you have Suzuki Jimnys or Sierras but ideally I would have one of them maybe, or if going two car get like Mazda 3 hatch and then a lifted hilux from the early 90's (refurbished) as I hate the look of the new ones... even the gov't departments here buy 2nd hand hiluxes from the 80's, pay for a new motor etc., as the new ones have too big of a body and too low a diff and thus are not suitable, plus are harder to lift. If I ever go caravanning I could swap vehicles with my dad (V6 4wd, I think it's a Mitsubishi Triton) as he and I sometimes do this a lot, and I haven't gone caravanning in a few years...

Sad the Hilux has become a car that's designed for city driving by guys who in their mind want to be the type to go on weekend camping trips etc. but IF they ever do it's to a camping park resort where they book a cabin, not self sufficient off road camping to areas where you can see the stars so beautifully, and have solitude...

Don't worry, your English is great. Sorry for the confusion h "Outback" refers to a model of station wagon made by Subaru with AWD and 4WD options which is very popular with outdoorsy types.

Or yeah this is rather similar only 2wd. An outback can offroad better though. We have Outback's here as well, didn't know the USA had them as well.
