Girlfriend and I are looking for a full-featured trailer, something like an R-Pod that we can tow behind our 2015 4runner trail. Reading here has squashed any perception that any of the large manufacturers actually create a capable offroad trailer but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of how the readily available trailers stack up? We need a trailer with clearance and that won't rattle/twist apart going down BLM or Forest Service roads. Not attempting any rock crawling with trailer attached. We've been looking at:
Jayco Jay flight Baja or similar starcraft extreme
R-pod Hood River edition
forest river no boundaries 19.5
Rockwood Geo pro
Does anyone know if any of these trailers have significant differences related to suspension capability or framing that should be considered? Is wood or aluminum frame desired? I've seen suggestions that consumers need to look at the framing quality more than wood vs aluminum but I'm not sure how that's done without visiting a factory.
Any other trailers that you know of that we could look into? I've seen several suggestions but many exceed our 5000lb tow limit.
Thanks!
