  • I don't feature much non MG-Rover content on this channel but do jump at the chance to drive something I loved as a kid!
    Here, join me with the owner and his son as I review the Daihatsu Fourtrak. Known in Japan as Rugger and everywhere else as Rocky!

    It was the F78 model that you drove, the dial in the centre of the dash is a inclinometer

    Looks good, my dad owned short wheel base one. I live in Indonesia swb version called Daihatsu TAFT. They have naturally aspirated diesel engine, 4speed gearbox, leave spring front n rear and solid axle front n rear

    I still have one, awesome vehicle! Mine has done over 550,000km, some of that towing a van around Australia.

      I've had landcruisers and hiluxs over the years and still rate them as good

    That was a nice change Rob. Elic? Seems like the kind of bloke I'd have a Guinness with. I'm sure in Oz it's also the fourtrack, but haven't checked. A nice 4x4 that goes under the radar., like a grown up Suzuki Jimny. Question for the Rover lovers , this or the mk1 Freelander. ?

    • @beardsandbangers
      @beardsandbangers  Před 5 měsíci +1

      That is a very good question! I would say the Fourtrak would win but that could be controversial!

    Never had them here in the US . Is there such a thing as a "Five-Trak?" 🤪😋 Good Man with welding it up to keep it on the roads.

      He certainly looks after it! And it's so nice to drive.

      They were called Daihatsu rocky in the US

      I have one of the very few diesel fourtrak/rugger's in the states. It was imported from Japan at some point. I've only seen a couple others for sale in the US. The smaller gas powered Rocky was sold here for only a few years.
