OT 1.8 Lite

Meet the Outback Tourer 1.8 Lite – built off everything that made the 1.5 Lite a standout, now scaled up for those who need more room without giving up the lightweight, low-profile design that changed the game. Designed with families in mind, the 1.8 Lite delivers that extra internal space where it actually matters. More shoulder room, more sleeping area, and more comfort when you’ve got kids or extra gear in the mix. It’s the same no-fuss, quick setup you already know – just with more space to spread out at the end of the day. At the core of the 1.8 Lite is the same pressed aluminium shell that set the 1.5 Lite apart. Strong, lightweight, and built to handle real touring conditions, it keeps weight down without sacrificing durability. Sitting low on the roofline, it maintains that clean, streamlined look while helping reduce wind drag and overall vehicle height – still practical for everyday driving, carparks, and tight tracks. We’ve carried over the versatility that made the 1.5 Lite such a solid all-rounder. On wagons, the 1.8 Lite still leaves usable roof space for essential gear, while on large ute tub setups it’s proportioned to sit properly over the tub without awkward overhang or balance issues. It’s bigger where it counts, without becoming bulky or overcomplicated. The 1.8 Lite is for those who liked the idea of the 1.5 Lite – but needed more space to make it work for the whole crew. Same DNA, just built bigger. Features Integrated 12V Power Internal cig socket, USB & USB-C ports to keep your gear charged and ready.
