We took four dual cab utes away for a weekend of sand and firetail driving. Dual Cab Utes included the Toyota Hilux SR5, Mitsubishi Triton Warrior, Ford Ranger XLT and the Isuzu D Max LS Terrain. All diesel, all auto and all 4×4 dual cab.
David Brown and Rob Fraser discuss the utes and the weekend for Radio 2UE and other radio stations.
Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director
Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.
The Ute is an Australian invention, designed by a farmer to take the pigs to market on Friday and the wife to church on Sunday. We have Utes, then there are bigger Utes and even bigger Utes like the American Pick Up trucks. [Read More]
Isuzu recently launched the all new X-Terrain that replaced the LS-T in the model range. Well it’s actually a little more upmarket than the LS-T to account for the increased demand for dual cab Utes with more features. [Read More]
Isuzu has updated their popular D Max and MU X models for 2019 on the back of outstanding sales growth over the last 10 years. Rob Fraser from OzRoamer went along to the launch. [Read More]
