Anyone want to tow a trailer from Melbourne to Sydney?
« on: February 04, 2017, 08:33:11 PM »
I have a family member is trying to find someone to tow a trailer from Melbourne to Sydney in the next two weeks. 

If anyone is coming this way, who has a tow bar he'll pay $500 for your troubles.

Messages me if its of interest to someone.  I'd do it but we don't have a tow bar any more.

Slightly off topic I know so admin remove if you need to! :wht11

So, it's a large brand new boat trailer which will be unladen, unregistered but with a permit to travel back to Sydney. Apparently weighs about 600kgs.

Even an ST will have trouble towing that..

A good sized vehicle will be needed to tow that, a Mazda 2 wont do..
