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.
