I towed my chassis/body kit from Sydney down to Melbourne. Me and a friend did it in one day, Melbourne-Sydney-Melbourne and sharing the driving. If I did it again I'd take 2 days as driving up and back without a break was hard work and I was knackered afterwards.

I borrowed a friends tandem car trailer. It was a pretty easy tow as there isn't a lot of weight in the Cobra body chassis.

I towed it with an F100 but a Hilux would have no trouble, especially a diesel.



The scariest part was peak hour traffic in Sydney with a big tandem trailer on the back. The lanes are so narrow and everyone is in such a hurry. I was amazed we got out of there without incident.



Grab a mate and hit the road. Turn it into an adventure.

Cheers
