    2020 Land Rover Defender is a Nightmare

    Totally agree. I just did a fairly rough trail with a zillion rocks, many hidden in two foot puddles and bogs, ledges, and several rocky ledge climbs. Kept the Adventures up at 49 to see how they’d do and didn’t spin a wheel even once. The rear locker and electronic controls are so amazing on...

    High Altitude Trailer XT 105

    The real question for me is who would ever take a trailer that expensive and fancy inside on anything but a mildly washboarded forest service or blm road? How’s that porcelain sink going to hold up when the rig drops a foot off a downhill ledge? They sell this off road fantasy and then make...

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    I agree that too many if these “off-road” trailers are trying to look like a suburban home or trailer park inside with silly luxuries and tv park finishes. At least the basecamp and a few others look the part inside. TV’s and fake wood grain everywhere jyst look out of place. For me, the...

    High Altitude Trailer XT 105

    Wow, $110K for the RoamerX/XT105 whatever you call it. Pandemic price gouging strikes again. No thanks. Only exceeded by Imperial’s even crazier pricing, or I suppose Bruder if you’re totally nutters.

    Need help: Which trailer works best for us?

    Yeah, the price in 145 is nuts. Pure price gouging. It may be top in its class, but come on. It’s a two person trailer for goodness sakes. The mantis and many others though will not be great for ski trips though since none of the water systems are winterized. And do you really want to cook...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    The 195 is up as $155K and it appears the Roamer1 is now just the same thing as the 195. The Roamerx is $110K. These just priced themselves out of the market for me. There really aren’t enough point to point overlanding routes in the US to need this level of investment in a trailer. I’ll...

    2020 Land Rover Defender is a Nightmare

    Apart from the winch install, which was dealer error, and a few other new model issues, TFL were absolute idiots taking the stock AT tires on that trail, and then compounding the problem by airing down on 20 inch wheels. The Instructors at LR experience will tell you never to air down 20’s on a...

    2020 Land Rover Defender is a Nightmare

    Just a little perspective, there are lots of very happy Defender owners out there. My 2021 has 25K completely trouble free miles, many of them towing, some of them off road. It is a dream on long drives, and though maybe not a pure rock crawler, it is a fantastic overland vehicle with payload...

    Warranty- Do retail trailer buyer's care or pay attention?

    The lifetime warranty on the frame and chassis of our squaredrop was certainly a factor in my purchase decision. Tells me the builder believes in their product, especially the part that actually should last a lifetime.

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    I was intrigued by their marketing, but just the look of them turns me off. Maybe they are built better than the average Indiana junk box, but then why does it have to look just like one. Same with the dorky interiors. I don’t want an off-road trailer to have wood grain this and luxury...

    Anything compete with the Superlite for weight and cost..?

    I've looked far and wide for something like the Superlite, and was thinking I should start a RTT company, when one of my random, waste a workday searches popped up with the Outside artlicle on the Superlite. I'm a diehard backpacker adding a trailer and some overloading to our plans, and I just...
