Completed our bucket-list 3,400 km Stuart Highway & Red Centre expedition from Adelaide to Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kings Canyon, and back in our BYD Shark 6 fitted with a tub rack, hard-shell rooftop tent, and 85L dual-zone fridge.

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

• Corrugated Dirt Roads: Dropped our 265/65R18 A/T tyres to 24 PSI cold on the Mereenie Loop—the independent coil suspension soaked up corrugations better than any leaf-spring ute in our convoy.
• Fuel Economy: 9.6 L/100km at 110 km/h outback highway cruise with the rooftop tent mounted flush with the cab roof.
