PLAN ON TOWING CROSS COUNTRY? BEST LEARN THE BASICS FIRST
-
HIS arrogant attitude would give anybody a bad name under any circumstance, but as he was towing a trailer across the Simpson Desert and he was bogged in the middle of a wet claypan - just exaggerated the fact that many people believe trailers are a pain and should be banned. Most of all, said people believe those towing trailers should get out of the way of 'real' four-wheelers who don't take trailers anywhere but are, at the same time, experts at towing and trailers in general. I'm not one of them, and I'm sure I'll ruffle a few feathers with my stance.
For the last 40 odd years, I've been towing trailers whenever we go on a long trip, whether that is in the desert country, along a beach somewhere, in the Victorian High Country, or any place in-between.
Thinking about it, back when I was in the Army I was towing trailers through the desert in the 1970s, so that makes it close to 50 years of experience with trailers in all sorts of environments.

Brett was touring in his 2018 HiLux - kitted with 33s, lockers, a Norweld tray and FOX suspension - in the Central Desert region east of Tennant Creek a week after rainfall, when he buried the front tyres in a hidden bog that appeared dry but was just a thin crust.
