Is Tuff Truck good value?
You bet!
Initially the ticket price can seem quite steep, but when you factor in all you get, it’s actually a ripper deal.
When you consider for $95 you can get:
- show bag per car on entry (incs. program, adverting material with discounts, stickers, etc)
- 2 nights camping with toilets (and the option of showers) within walking distance of the action
- 2 days of 4×4 insane boulder climbing action with a record 60 custom built vehicles
- 2 spectacular nights of entertainment when the Mud Rats Revenge comes alive
- The chance to get right-up-close to the vehicles and meet the drivers and teams that build them during the Show n’ Shine
- See the latest in 4×4 accessories and grab a deal in the Exhibitor’s Alley
- Saturday night band (Trilogy)
- Onsite Police, security, Rural Fire Services and St Johns First Aid
We think this all in a beaut location where you can get away from the hussle and bussle and just be yourself in the bush is something to look forward to each year.
