THE T-TRUCK // PROJECT 55
The Era of the T-Truck is Here.
Redefining the Standard. The Trekano T-Truck represents the evolution of the touring platform. We have taken the industrial capability of a heavy-duty chassis and infused it with the DNA of a precision tourer. This is no longer just a commercial vehicle; it is an expedition-grade instrument designed to offer Unimog-level utility with the highway manners of a European luxury car.
Built on the cutting-edge Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 519 Cab Chassis, this vehicle solves the oldest problem in the 4x4 world: the compromise between Capability and Comfort. It is the missing link between the agility and driveability of a Ute and the brute strength of a Truck.
THE ARCHITECTURE: Power Meets Intelligence
Under the bonnet lies the new-generation OM654 High Output Twin-Turbo Diesel. Don't let the cylinder count fool you; this engine is an engineering marvel, delivering 140kW of power and a massive 450Nm of torque.
- Seamless Delivery: Mated to the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission, the T-Truck is always in the right gear. It glides at highway speeds with low RPMs, reducing cabin noise and maximizing fuel range.
- The AWD Revolution: The game-changer is the drivetrain. The 2025 Torque-on-Demand AWD system reads the road 100 times per second, intelligently distributing torque to the wheels with grip. From wet tarmac to soft beach sand, the transition is instant and invisible. You simply steer; the truck does the rest.
THE CAPABILITY: End the Weight Struggle
Why choose a T-Truck over a dual-cab Ute? Payload.
The modern touring setup—bull bars, winches, fridges, batteries, and rooftop tents—pushes standard utes to their breaking point. The T-Truck operates in a different weight class entirely.
- 5.5 Tonne GVM: With a Gross Vehicle Mass of 5,500kg, you are no longer counting every kilogram.
- True Independence: You can mount a full composite camper, carry 200L+ of water, run extensive lithium battery banks, and pack spare parts without approaching your legal limits.
- Towing Master: With a 3.5t towing capacity and a long wheelbase, the T-Truck controls a trailer with authority. No sway. No white-knuckle driving.
THE VISION: A Rolling Fortress
We don't just sell you the chassis; we provide the blueprint for the ultimate build. The T-Truck is designed to be modified.
- Super-Single Conversion: We can provide a custom Super-Single wheel conversion from our partners at Reika. This deletes the dual rear wheels (which trap rocks) and aligns the front and rear track width for superior handling in sand ruts.
- OEM Plus Stance: This setup allows for up to a 37 inch tire, giving you the ground clearance to tackle the Gibb River Road and the ride comfort to enjoy the journey.
- The Trekano Platform Tray: To streamline your build, we provide our own heavy-duty standard platform tray. Designed as a universal interface, it functions as a robust flatbed for general utility or acts as the perfectly engineered sub-frame for a composite camper box. It is a modular foundation designed to adapt to your needs, work or play.
- Infinite Configuration: Whether you require a heavy-duty aluminium service body for a mobile workshop or a luxury expedition module for the lap of Australia, the 519 chassis, combined with our platform tray, is the ultimate foundation.
THE COCKPIT: First Class, Every Day
The days of utilitarian interiors are over. The T-Truck features theMBUX Multimedia Systemwith a 10.25-inch high-resolution touchscreen, intelligent voice control ("Hey Mercedes"), and smartphone integration with Apple Carplay and Andriod Auto. Coupled with active safety systems likeActive Lane KeepingandDistance Assist Distronic, driving the T-Truck feels less like hauling a truck and more like piloting a luxury SUV.
