Towing Adventures with Justin

Hi there,

I’m Justin Sultana, Sales Manager at Dubbo City and Gilgandra Toyota. When I’m not busy helping people find their perfect vehicle, you’ll probably find me out in the great outdoors. Whether it’s fishing at my favourite spots or camping, I always have something to tow. Taking my boat to Lake Burrendong is one of my favourite ways to unwind, and today, I’m here to share some towing tips and insights from my on-road experience.

Towing isn’t just about connecting a trailer or boat and heading out—it’s about preparation, confidence, and enjoying the journey. Whether it’s a quick trip to the local lake or an extended adventure into the bush, towing adds an extra layer of excitement to any trip.

Six Tried-and-True Towing Tips

Here are my six go-to tips to ensure your towing experience is safe, smooth, and enjoyable:

1. Know Your Limits
   Always check your vehicle’s and trailer’s towing capacities. Staying within these limits is essential for safety and performance.
2. Secure Your Load
   It sounds simple, but ensuring everything is tightly secured can save you from headaches later.
3. Check Your Tyres
   Properly inflated tyres on both your vehicle and trailer make a huge difference in handling and fuel efficiency.
4. Light It Up
   Double-check your brake lights and indicators. Clear communication on the road is critical, especially when towing.
5. Maximise Visibility
   Adjust your mirrors so you have a clear view of your trailer and the road around you.
6. Final Safety Check
   Before heading off, make sure your cufflink is secure, the jockey wheel is raised, and the wiring and safety chains are properly connected.

Towing Isn’t Just a Task—It’s a Passion

For me, towing is more than just getting from one place to another—it’s part of the adventure. The satisfaction of navigating winding roads or backing a trailer into a tight spot is all part of the fun.

If you’re someone who loves adventure—or if you’re thinking about getting into towing—know that the road is always waiting for you. With the right preparation and mindset, towing can open up a world of unforgettable experiences. Here are my top 3 towing adventures:
