Tough Farm Vehicles

The Tough Tomcar Makes Off-Road Work a Breeze

— May 6, 2015 — Autos
The Tough Tomcar is an Australian built vehicle that is designed to carry around people and goods in the harshest of off-road conditions.

Unlike most off-road vehicles, the Tomcar has a rear-wheel drive system, with the engine and drivetrain components situated at the rear of the car for sturdier grip and a light and responsive front. This allows the vehicle to speed across rough terrain at high speed. The independent suspension system also helps in this regard, with the presence of dual coil hydraulic shocks giving drivers a good degree of freedom and control.

The vehicle's front has a sacrificial part that bends upon heavy impact, ensuring that the vehicle doesn't get damaged to the point that it can't be driven home.

The Tough Tomcar makes for a tough and practical outdoor working vehicle, with its ability to carry loads around harsh terrain at high speed making it perfect for any kinds of off-road work.
