Ah, but will it survive a run down the Tanami Track and its well known truck busting corrugations? :p

The TC would be similar to US TC's in that case. Depends on the support vehicle. Tanami is primarily desert. Can your base vehicle and TC take the pounding?

My last camper is being replaced because it couldn't. I'd be very surprised if my old Power Wagon fared much better on that road due to its age.

I figured given a good portion of the inner roads cross Central Australia are dirt and almost always with corrugations, the local built rigs might be a fair bit tougher than our American built ones that get pissy if you take them on slightly rough bitumen.

Our dirt tracks generally are alot less corrugated due to the difference in geological make up of the soil. When you come across corrugations on a back road in the states, its generally left behind impressions from the tracks of a bulldozer that worked on the road vs natural phenomenon from rainy periods.

US pickups were never really designed to take that sort of abuse.,They are more an urban vehicle, although they are used on farms in NA

Given the damage it does to something the size of a road train, shy of a unimog, I don't think there's a truck out there that can take a lot of beatings from the roads through the outback without coming away with some damage.
