WILDTRAK TOW TUG

4X4 AUSTRALIA’S RESIDENT RANGER WILDTRAK FLEXES ITS TOWING MUSCLES FOR A SOGGY CAMPER TRAILER ADVENTURE.

- EMMA RYAN

OUR second month with the Ranger Wildtrak 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo diesel saw little improvement on the weather front. Weekend after weekend became a washout as our friend La Niña poured her moody torrents over the Australian east coast summer. Great for farmers, ducks and bushfire evasion, not so good for camper trailer or 4x4 adventures.

But after thrice rescheduling a review of the Cub Campers Drifter II camper trailer, we eventually decided to suck it up and push on. Besides, there appeared to be a bit of a break in the clouds. Momentary glimpses of sunshine were about the best we could hope for. So, it was onwards and upwards to the Hawkesbury, just outside Sydney, for a quick overnighter.
