Ahem! Canadians have the biggest ones.
 
Yes I'm jealous.
It seems going by your pictures of rescueing CMPs, tractors, carriers or just plain anything Canadians have the biggest trailers amongst us. Your tow vehicles are pretty damn cool too. Australia is a long way behind but is catching up slowly as our local 4x4s get bigger and more powerful. Our trailers I would imagine will follow suit.
So, who here think I am wrong?
Would people care to share their set ups.
I would, but a nerdy 6x4 trailer just doesn't cut the mustard in the manly stakes.

AAVA occasionally uses these trailers!

The Canadians may have big trailers, but not the biggest trucks!

And for longer trips we use this rig, never have enough trailer length, that is always my gripe

I've visited lots of garden shops, but never found a proper money tree. You guys must have them all :(

Nice 101 :thup2:

Also like the Scorpion, love the sound of them. We have a striker in the club and there's a Sabre in Tassie.

Bruce, I remember the house in that photo..and the time the carrier slipped onto its side.. Man that must have been truly frightening !!!!
As for trailer trains, the Aussies have everyone beat.. the most you'll see in Canada is two trailers.
