I own a T-Rex, some info anyway.

Of course, the TGR are well suited for trips outside Europe, in deserts and on poor roads. They are robust, extremely suitable for bad roads, do not consume a lot of diesel and are easy to maintain. Spare parts and wearing parts can be found or remanufactured. Most parts come from IVECO, only a few special parts from Bremach. But it's difficult to find a well-maintained vehicle. Many are nearly dead or poorly restored. You can also restore an old vehicle, but it is expensive and takes a lot of time and knowledge

Pay atention, the TGR's cab is small and cramped. If you are taller than 170cm and not thin as a string, long distance travel is extremely uncomfortable. The vehicles are also loud, slow and their driving behavior is more like that of a construction machine.

In my opinion, a >20 year old vehicle would be too old for me if I haven't owned it myself for at least 15 years!

Some parts are encouraging and some not. I like that they're good, robust and easy to maintain and the biggest downside at the moment seems to be the small and cramped cabin, I'm 180 and not skinny.
As for being old and all that goes with it, I'll take it as it is. I love older vehicles and I can put up with some things as long as I don't have to have it in the garage every other day and live in fear of breakdown after breakdown when I'm travelling.

Cheers,
