I have a later D Max and am thinking about replacing the 4 tyres. Most kilometres travelled are whilst towing a van. Also the most time it is on the black tar.

I find it difficult at times to apply the clip to secure down the top of my Coromal Navigator camper trailer. The thread on clamp would be perfect. If it was just 20 or 20 cm longer. Life would be much easier. Has anyone else had this experience?

Hi all, I have recently purchased a new tug (Mazda BT50) to tow my 23' van. The van is coming with dual solar and dual batteries to allow us to go off grid. The question I have is, should I invest the dollars and have a second battery installed in the vehicle or just run it as it sits. It needs to go to an auto e...
