Our Joey was fitted with a slide-out barbecue,
one of the largest fold-down picnic tables I’ve
ever seen, an offside external shower, a couple
of storage lockers built into the lower skirting of
checkerplate, and a large storage unit mounted
to the A-frame. This storage unit comes with a
couple of jerry can holders and I liked that the
fresh water tap was mounted behind one jerry
can holder, rather than to the lower drawbar rail
where it would be vulnerable to stone-strike.
The Joey might be small in size but it more than
holds its own in terms of comforts and liveability.
2019 UPDATES
Previously, the Joey was fitted with a trailing
arm independent leaf suspension with one shock
absorber per wheel. Bushranger, however, has
replaced it with Al-Ko’s Enduro Outback offroad,
independent, trailing arm setup.

Another important change: the previous 60L
compressor fridge has been upgraded to an 80L
compressor unit, while the electric-only hot water
service is now gas-electric.
Until now, Bushranger supplied the Joey with a
100Ah lead-acid deep-cycle battery; however,
2019 models will receive a 100Ah AGM battery
instead. (Our review van was upgraded with
two 120Ah AGM batteries and two 120W solar
panels, showing that this rig can be specced-up
for remote touring.)
Finally, an innerspring mattress, rather than a
foam mattress, will now be standard fitment, too.
