Hi all Looking at upgrading to an 18.58.2 and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why in the book under travel length the touring is 7407mm and the outback is 7287mm. Seems the outbacks are slightly shorter but can't work out where just by looking at books. Thanks in advance

I thought it was the other way around
7287mm for touring
7407 for Outback

if this is the right way -
it would be because of the round tube rear bumper on the Touring V's the SHS tube on the Outback (it sits out a bit further

Or maybe the length of the draw bar, with the heavier rear bar?

No idea really, just a guess.

Many hours of useless conjecture?

At least, that's what it was for me.

I would go to the yard and measure one yourself. I know the specs for our 17.58 was off against website :(
You think total length is something a few people would have a limit on for storage and not that hard to have correct :)
Weight depends on what you add so I can understand that one.
