RV FEATURE
5 . If you want to tow a trailer , look at fitting a towbar that is as short as practically possible . I ’ ve seen many towbars on dual-cab utes that are unnecessarily long , placing a potentially high towball load as far away from the wheels as possible . Any reduction in this distance , no matter how small , will have a positive effect .
6 . If you ’ re driving offroad and towing a caravan or camper , take great care and avoid hitting any obstacles at speed . Beach-driving is particularly high risk . Washaways in the sand caused by flowing water are often difficult to see , especially if you ’ re driving at relatively high speeds . Slow down , drive to the conditions and encourage your passengers to watch out for any hazards you might miss .
Dual-cab utes can be excellent tow vehicles , but they are not indestructible .
Dual-cab utes are extremely versatile vehicles that are ideally suited to the recreational lifestyle but they are not indestructible . Like all other types of vehicles , they have their vulnerabilities . Once you understand this and setup the vehicle accordingly , it will survive and serve you well for many years .
Safe travels .
Even the mighty Land Cruiser is prone to bending its chassis under the right circumstances .
