Hi all
I bought my new Crusade in May and I'm taking it off on it's first big trip from Friday. We're off to some bush camping up the east coast of NSW as well as getting over to Moreton Island for a week.
I have done very little 4WD before and this is my first car capable of taking me to these places. Anyone got any advice? I am towing about 1.5t with an offroad camper trailer (All Terrain Camper Trailers) and associated kit. Only aftermarket I've done so far are recovery points (there's another topic here about using the tie down points and I think the decision was not to... I've definitely been told that's a massive no, no) and an anderson plug. I had a tow bar fitted and roof racks by Toyota.
My biggest concern is driving on sand with the standard tyres that come with the Crusade. Sure, I'll let them down etc, but with the extra weight I'm towing - and a fair bit of inexperience - I'm just hoping in the short distance from the Micat ferry to my camping site, there are no problems!! I do have a snatch strap and some recovery tracks - but it's a nervous feeling!
