Most charging points you would have to take van off to get in

You are not "choking" a diesel. The throttle control moves a fuel supply rack and "off" merely cuts the fuel off. If it is starting OK, then it does not need a pre-heat device, but very cold mornings might require a squirt of "Start Ya bastard", to give it a kick.

A true test is when you have a family in the car with a loaded van and car. This van would be right on the limit to the towing capacity of 2.5 tonnes. What is the tow ball weight ? Looking at the upgraded 2025 BYD shark at 3 tonne looks like a smarter option to tow.

Drive it further than 15klm on the Bruce hwy between Maryborough and Rockhampton see how long it takes incl re charging and power consumption results then.

Looks like LeCornu Furniture's old logo on the pylon sign copied off a former furniture store chain from the USA, Levitz Furniture. LeCornu Furniture's old logo has had a logo design identical to Levitz Furniture in the USA, consisting of a cursive script letter "L" inside an oval, along with plain italicized sans-serif lettering either spelling out "Levitz" in the USA or "LeCornu" in Australia. LeCornu Furniture never had any relations with the Levitz Furniture store chain. Even LeCornu Furniture's commercial jingle "Love it at LeCornu" sounds very similar to Levitz Furniture's commercial jingle "You'll love it at Levitz".

For anyone looking for a dependable mini excavator that minimizes such hassles, I’d recommend checking out Achilles Machinery. Their mini excavators are not only robust and well-designed for tough jobs but also come with user-friendly features that make maintenance easier. Plus, Achilles Machinery offers excellent customer support, which can be a lifesaver when you encounter any issues. Knowing there’s solid backup can really make a difference in how confidently you approach your projects.

Uh, what's a "swag"?

Cool💪🏻

Your a road hazard dragging off other cars while towing a van. How long would it take to travel 900 km’s ? I’d put my Navara against your EV9 towing the same weight from Mandurah to Shark Bay and see who wins while still doing the legal speed limit. While towing a van you can only do 100 kmh anything over is against the law and also unsafe.

Shark 6 towing video? Yes, please.

I'd love an EV tow vehicle, but with a range of less than 300kms it's just unworkable. It's all about range, I can get 700kms with my Ford Everest with a 3T van (I have a long range tank).

Love to see tests on the Shark. In SA as I previously mentioned and need a work vehicle for my new job that isn’t limited by charge times, and I 100% do not want diesel.

Just found this and can see from the vision you are in SA. I picked up my EV9 in Jan this year and want to know who put your tow bar on and did you have any issues finding someone in Adelaide I assume? I am just coming up to 15k Kilometers.

How do i get one delivered to the northern Territory and are you a actual business ?

Thinking about the shark 6 too, hopefully you will do a review/test on that too.

This is the video I've been looking for. Thankyou.

How do you find the auger? I'm interested in getting one with a 300mm auger. I need to drill through sandy clay at my place.

Good on you for making those videos that’s exactly how I drive my model Y and model 3 I just like a normal car but a lot better

Sorry to see that you didn’t get many comments I’m not really aware of this problem so you’re saying it’s not the battery it’s the Bluetooth And if you turn the Bluetooth off it’s gonna be okay So what about satellite navigation then and all that stuff

More great content, thanks. My caravan is arriving in a weeks time, so I'll be driving on exactly these same roads in SA then, towing with the EV9. This has been a really helpful insight. I have specifically chosen an aerodynamic caravan to hopefully squeeze out some more range. Would be great to see your caravan towing review.

Nice to be recommended an SA channel and a topic I’ve been wondering about. I live out Murray Bridge way and often tow a 10x6 cage trailer often and have wondered how the EV9 would go.

definitely curious to see how you go with a full size caravan

Only one comment and it's a suggestion only, with the inverter supply cables I would be upgrading the dual cables to a set of 250A rated cables, even though it is likely a very short run the cables in this video appear to be no where near sufficient for the max load the inverter can draw, which will create heat and a fire risk at worst.

G’day Darren, I’ve just ordered a subwoofer for my snowy River 19. Do you leave the door closed when you have the subwoofer/sound going?

amazing...especially you got it done in 4 days

You forgot the wire for the fuel pump.

I'm wondering how you would pull over at a charging station with a caravan on the back Melbourne to Sydney. Think it would be too impractical.

I need to see a version of this being done with a modern foam core / epdm trailer roof. I cant even figure out how to put a rack on the thing.

Excellent video, thank you. Looking forward to your towing video with this car. Will you be installing a brake controller in the EV9 for the towing test? If so, I'd love to see some more information on that in the next vid.

What is the wiring harness that you used? Where can I buy it?

With the initial fire up. Did you make sure the lines had fuel in them ? Or just start it up and the pump pushed the fuel up till it started? Thanks

Love your work

Nobody spends this money to actually go off road, this is never actually going off road, it's going from paved camp site to paved camp site.

Looks good but towing it with a EV im not insteaded with that bullshit garbage 😊

That's a change for the better. Now, to make it efficient at being towed, it needs to be a pop top...one day.

Small and low, you would be lucky not to scrape the belly going into your driveway! Off road ? 😂🤣😅

Were you allowed to enter?

How big was the hole cut out in the roof?

Is it synchronomesh?

Is it still holding up

many important steps missing - insulating h-frame - fixing h-frame to the caravan

got the same one from alex last year,, never looked back,,no issues and already 30 hours on it clearing land..well worth the dollars

Name of manufacturer? Available in usa?

So, EQB if you have kids, EV9 if you have teenagers. Gonna need a roof trunk for the EQB though.

Been waiting a year for the factory to fix my van 😢

August 2024 and base ZS EV is only $35k with a 10 year warranty. You can forgive a lot of shortcomings for that price!

wow

How stress free was it pulling up the boat ramp when bringing the boat back up? Rwd slip at all?

The only other thing you can do . . is take your foot of the accelerator . . . and do Micro counter actions . . . that save me going past a Magnum ? always stick to the Caravan speed limit . . . 85mph is way too Fast - ?

The neck, love it
