Trailer Stuff at SEMA 2015

[jscherb]

I'm interested. Can you please do so when you have time?

Here you go. I think they've done a really nice job with it.

There are very few trailers at the show this year, and few new trailer-specific items. Many of the same trailer gear companies that are there every year are here again, but not much new that I found. I did find these storage boxes that are intended for the pickup truck market that might be useful on a trailer, either across the tongue or perhaps along the sides. They're a little more than 4' long, weatherproof, and they have removable trays above the main storage compartment. Not a trailer-specific item, but perhaps useful.

Doesn't look like it has one...

Anyone know the price point of the Smittybilt?

The Smittybilt people at SEMA told me the planned price is $5000.

Seems an appropriate price point. Rather on the cheaper end if it comes with the tent... If I wasn't sorted, and it comes with the tent, I would have been interested.

Needs a rear hitch. I need to bring my bicycles

say's "two-inch receivers found at each end..."

I know it says that, but the display unit, which they said is their version 2 prototype, doesn't have them. They did say there are a few more tweaks they need to make before it's final, so maybe that's one of them.

There was one of these trailers on display. It could be overland capable right?

Actually there was one overland-capable trailer displayed outside a SEMA; it was pulled by a modified semi tractor. I didn't take any photos of it because it seemed so far out of the range of an average overlander.

Interesting about smitty built kit. Been trying to decide what to assemble or build thats set up like an overlander trailer but on 13in wheels and light for a Infinity Sedan to tow. Dad wants a camping rig but wants to use the G 35x as the road machine. This could beinteresting.

Yes, it had a roof top tent. Couldn't figure that out.
