A successful touring trip starts well before the vehicle leaves the driveway

ARB encourages you to guarantee your vehicle is adequately prepared from front to back to take on tough terrain both on and off the road.
When towing a caravan or trailer, ARB says you should begin by understanding the vehicle’s towing capacity, payload, and overall weight limits.
The additional load can affect braking, handling, and ride comfort, making the right equipment and correct vehicle setup important for every journey.
The ARB Rear Step Tow Bar range is engineered for a variety of 4WD models, combining towing capability with rear protection, practical clearance, and integrated mounting options.
Each application is designed to fit the vehicle while helping protect the rear bodywork and tailgate in demanding touring conditions.
Controlled trailer braking is another important part of a considered towing setup.
The REDARC Tow-Pro Elite V3 electric brake controller offers automatic proportional and user-controlled braking modes, allowing the driver to select an appropriate response for highway travel, gravel roads, and more technical conditions.
ARB says the result is smoother, more predictable trailer braking across varied terrain.
Vehicle setup becomes even more important when adding touring equipment, recovery gear, passengers and towing loads.
As weight increases, maintaining vehicle control and predictable handling becomes a critical part of trip preparation.
Ensuring accessories are correctly selected and matched to the intended use of the vehicle can help deliver a more balanced and capable touring setup.
ARB explains that its products are developed and tested to perform in the demanding conditions encountered by Australian tourers.
Throughout the design process, it says its products undergo extensive evaluation to ensure they meet ARB’s requirements for fit, function, and durability.
The company states this focus on engineering and testing helps provide confidence that the equipment fitted to a vehicle is ready for the varied challenges encountered both on and off the road.
Beyond urban areas, changing road surfaces, wildlife and unexpected obstacles can place the front of a vehicle at risk.
Developed in Australia and tested in demanding off road conditions, ARB bull bars are engineered for specific vehicle applications and designed to integrate with relevant vehicle safety systems.
ARB says the result is a protection solution that balances strength, functionality and vehicle compatibility, while also providing a stable mounting platform for touring accessories such as driving lights and winches.
