I went to the last auction and bought a Track trailer ($1000 + 13.5% charges or something like that). IMHO they are the pick for off road and carrying ability just from looking at how they are constructed and not as yet from using it. Nothing against the traditional no5's, without doubt the best leaf sprung trailer around. However, with coil springs, koni shocks, independent suspension, hydrolic brakes (incl handbrake) with gal body/chassis and a tailgate - this is a trailer that is hard to beat.

From how it's constructed I'd be happy taking this trailer to the Cape, Gibb River Road and Mitchel Plateau Road.

I can only comment on how it's constructed. In service people will give a true appraisal of how it performs in the field.

One thing to note about the Track Trailer is that it weighs 460kg and is 1 tonne GVM. That means in Qld as I've found out you need a RWC (RWC not req on no 5 as GVM is 750kg) to get it registered. The upside is a greater carrying capacity.

good luck REMLR members
