The Ultimate Buggy Towing Guide

Driving a Buggy can be such a thrilling experience, whether you have a farm buggy, or a 4×4 buggy for exploring along the red dirt, beautiful soft sands, or even muddy terrains, we all know that there are many factors to maintain safety no matter what the use of your buggies are for or how thrilling it may be. We’ve compiled a guide on How to Tow a Buggy safely and securely.

How to properly prepare your Buggy before towing:

• Inspect all the parts on your buggy, trailer, and vehicle to ensure that nothing is loose. This includes light bars, roof racks, radios, spare wheels, and more – really, anything that can be taken away by the wind! (There’s nothing more frustrating or dangerous than having to pull over and chase down something that’s flown away on a busy road.)
• Review the conditions of all wheels – this includes your buggy, trailer, and vehicle. Ensure that they are all up to roadworthy condition, as well as ensuring all your wheel nuts are tightened as they should be, and that they have the correct amount of pressure in them.
• Check over the fluids in both your buggy and vehicle – things like the coolant, engine oil, and windscreen fluid may need topping up. (If you aren’t comfortable with checking over the fluids, we recommend taking both your vehicle and the buggy to a suitable mechanic before any long trip.)
• Test the engagement of your 4WD mode to ensure it engages smoothly.
• Ensure all operations of your headlights, taillights, indicators, and other lights are all working and can be seen in different weather conditions.
