Monster Tow Vehicle
Is this big rig the ultimate tow vehicle?
Melbourne-based, custom-built Scania toy hauler truck can tow up to 30 tonnes(66,000lb)
Most caravanners step up to a big American pick-up or light truck when more regular tow vehicles like the Toyota LandCruiser aren't up to the job.
But the Melbourne owner of this fine-looking rig had other ideas... sick of being overweight in his previous vehicle, a RAM pickup, he started looking around for an alternative.
"I had the RAM, a 6.7lt, and found that we were travelling at 1.3 tonne overweight, with the caravan and the boat on the roof," owner David said.
"My mate has been a driver for Scenic Tours and has always been a lover of Scania and I wanted a 4x4, so we looked around to see what was available… and ordered a 4x4 from Scania and set it up for retirement and touring."
