Paarl on the road
Paarl lies on the N1 just before the Huguenot Tunnel and the Du Toitskloof Pass, and that stretch shapes much of the towing here.

Main Road through town, the R45 to Franschhoek and the R301 to Wellington carry wine farm bakkies, delivery trucks and tourists. Winter rain and mist on the pass, and summer heat on the long climb, test old vehicles. Farmers, wine estates, commuters to Cape Town and families with caravans and boats ask for tows, tow bars and trailers here.
