If you’ve been tuning into Season 16 of Pat Callinan’s 4X4 Adventures, you’ve no doubt admired Pat’s Ruby Red Metallic Engel kicking around in the back of the ‘Thirst Responder’. While it looks a million bucks, most people are surprised to hear it’s actually a few years old and a couple of big laps deep, Pat had it tidied up and custom painted to match the trim on his F-150. If you’re a little green with envy then there’s some great news though. In a massive coincidence, it just happened to be near enough the same colour as Engel’s newly released Elite Series of Fridge Freezers that are now available off the shelf in that same striking red metallic finish, albeit with a few extra fancy features..

That’s right—now you can own an Engel fridge that doesn’t just perform exceptionally but also looks the part, matching the Thirst Responders signature style. The new Engel 40L Elite Series Fridge/Freezer (MT45J-ELITE) and the Engel 60L Elite Series Fridge/Freezer (MT60J-ELITE) are now available in this stunning color, making them the perfect addition to your touring setup.

Why the Engel Elite Series is a Game-Changer:

  • Striking Ruby Red Metallic Finish: Stand out on the tracks with a fridge that compliments your vehicle and gear.
  • Advanced Temperature Control: With variable DC power consumption and a built-in 240V AC/12V/24V DC system, you have complete control over your cooling needs.
  • Engel Smartphone App: Easily adjust settings with the free Engel app. Use the handy beer icon to instantly set your fridge to the perfect 3°C for your beverages.
  • Robust Design: Featuring reinforced baskets, larger lockable door latches, and robust corner protectors and handles for durability on rough terrains.
  • Convenience Features: On/off reed switch for the interior LED light, a fridge lid alarm, USB ports for charging devices, and the ability to customise your fridge’s name and secure it with a PIN code.
  • Peace of Mind: Built-in battery monitor with three-stage battery protection to prevent flat batteries, plus a five-year warranty.

Choose the Size That Fits Your Adventure:

  • 40L Elite Series Fridge/Freezer (MT45J-ELITE): Perfect for weekend getaways, with ample space to keep your essentials chilled. Priced at $1,599.00.
  • 60L Elite Series Fridge/Freezer (MT60J-ELITE): Ideal for longer trips, holding up to 80 cans of your favourite drinks. Priced at $2,199.00.

Imagine pulling up to your campsite and opening a fridge that not only keeps your food and drinks perfectly chilled but also matches the stylish look of your 4X4. It’s the ultimate way to bring a piece of the Thirst Responder into your own adventures.
