Not nearly as embarrassing as a D22 being towed by a Dunnydore that I saw a few weeks back.

could be worse, could be a D22 getting towed by a dmax.
Does the D-Max have low range so that it can generate enough torque to do that?

Not sure that the law is quite that explicit.
From the current South Australian regulations:
AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES - REG 295
295—Motor vehicle towing another vehicle with a towline
(1) The driver of a motor vehicle towing another vehicle using a chain, rope, fabric, strap or wire (the "towline") must comply with this rule.
Offence provision.
Note—
"Motor vehicle" is defined in the dictionary, and "vehicle" is defined in rule 15.
(2) If neither of the vehicles is a motor bike, the driver must keep a distance of not over 4 metres between the vehicles.
Note—
"Motor bike" is defined in the dictionary.
(3) If at least 1 of the vehicles is a motor bike, the driver must keep a distance of not over 2.5 metres between the vehicles.
(4) If the towline is longer than 2 metres, the driver must attach a white or brightly coloured flag, piece of cloth or other similar material (the "warning material") to the towline in accordance with subrule (5).
(5) The warning material must:
(a) be substantially square or rectangular with 2 adjacent sides at least 300 millimetres long; and
(b) be attached midway along the towline; and
(c) be visible for at least 100 metres from either side of the warning material.
(6) Subrule (2), (3) or (4) does not apply to a driver if the driver is exempt from the subrule under another law of this jurisdiction and is complying with the conditions (if any) of the exemption.

Driving unregistered and uninsured were the least of an Adelaide man's problems when he was pulled over in the city's north-eastern suburbs on Monday.
It was 8.30am when the officers stopped his Holden sedan on Sudholz Road at Gilles Plains, believing him to be driving dangerously in the morning's peak-hour traffic.
The officers discovered not only were two tyres blown out but the steering wheel was missing, leaving the driver to control the vehicle with a pair of vice grips.
"Further investigations led police to believe the vehicle had just been involved in a hit-run crash in Northfield only minutes earlier," a police spokesman said.

The driver, a 38-year-old Northfield man, was allegedly driving while disqualified and returned a positive drug test to methyl amphetamine and cannabis.
He was arrested and charged with driving without due care, failing to stop at the scene of a crash, driving in a manner dangerous, driving while disqualified, unregistered, uninsured and contrary to defect and breaching his bail conditions.
He has appeared in court and was remanded in custody.

The big concern here is that the idiot could get into a car and do that again. He's just going to get a fine. And next time the moron is going to do someone a real injury.
What's worse, we HAVE to share the roads with him and suffer when this dimwit comes past and swipes us. Insurance will cover the vehicle damage, but they can't give you your life/limbs/children back.
