Default 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.

I use this one.



AAVA occasionally uses these trailers!



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

Or this world record for a road train pulled by a single prime mover (tractor)

Me thinks you are blowing smoke!
