A question, then a rant
Any first hand RORO shipping experiences here? I'll be shipping my truck from Japan to Canada later this year, and I'm uncertain if RORO is the best way to go. I want to load it with everything I can bring back, and I've heard RORO is the way to do that.
That fresh salt air can be a problem, but I've read about coasting the car in used engine oil or some such. Any suggestions?
Now for the rant. In all the questions about "which 4x4" to buy, I've yet to see anyone suggest an Isuzu (Bighorn/Trooper) and I don't know why.
They're available in some 130 countries, Isuzu diesel engines are some of the best bar none, they are truly capable off-road trucks, they are inexpensive compared the the iconic TLC and LR's, and have a decent payload size. As for reliability, they were made in Japan; little else needs to be said.
I've owned four so I'm biased, but if I was heading out to Africa or Russia or China or America, an Isuzu would be at the top of my list for tuff, rugged, and capable expedition trucks.
So come on all you hard-core wheelers and overlanders; what gives?
