Hi all,
I'm new to this site and have read heaps of the postings but I need some input on a beach vehicle.
I'm sorry if I offend some of you, but I currently drive a 2007 Hilux 4x4 Dual Cab which is ok in the sand but on a lot of fishing trips to SA the Suzuki seems to be a stand out unit because of its light weight.
I am currently looking to buy a stock 1.3ltr Sierra but would really like some input from you all on whether this will do the job.
I have also looked at the 1.6ltr Vitara.
I am open to any and all of your suggestions. Thanks in anticipation.

Kev.

i've got a sierra, havent taken it on sand but plenty of guys on here do,

as far as i understand it as long as you dont reduce the gearing to far you'll be fine with the stock 1.3

im sure others will chime in with more info soon

I've done the Melbourne to S.A run in my sierra, if you are planning to run that way more then once, go for a vitara. The extra crusing power, better economy will romp in in over a sierra. Both have basically the same storage space (for swb's) Also, a stock vitara is now cheaper then a stock sierra cause the sierras are getting hard to find unmodified.
Just my 2c worth :D

Stock Sierras (even on stock tyres and standard ride height) handle the beach sand fine - probably better than most vehicles - as long as they are in reliable condition.
