Jeep ADDAX Overland Trailer Announced

[keithcroshaw]

Think I'm good Jeep, thanks... Not that I could off-road it it to be fair.
Actually made this when I had my JKU. Now that I've got the Gladiator I'll be moving everything to the bed.

They never seem to get the idea that a basic low-priced option is what is needed rather than a higher priced branded option.

Most company's would rather chase the fat margins at the higher end of the table vs trying to build something that works and us regular folks can actually afford.

Because for the moneyed folk, having to choose between two options where the price difference is $3000 between their two favorite high end brands is just a matter of which one do you like better, the cost doesn't factor in as much.

Where as on the "is it affordable" end for regular people, if you have two products where the price difference is $300, that can make or break the buying decision.

Even Jeep is going the same direction, we're creeping up into Landcruiser/Land Rover territory with the MSRP on the newest Jeeps, it's getting much harder for regular people to be able to afford these trucks now.

The price of these in the UK where land rovers are domestic is WAY higher than we pay. At least Jeeps will leave land rovers in the dust off road.

Funny, I was thinking that exact thing about the cost of Jeeps this last weekend driving home from a trail. I don't think I will ever be able to afford buying another new Jeep Wrangler or JT again in the future based on the way prices are going. Gotta make this JT last!

This one starts at $14 k and is leaps and bounds better

I had one of these Jeep branded Livin Lite trailers and regret selling it. Wasn't a hardcore off-road trailer, but was excellent quality and we got a ton of use out of it. Fractional cost but hard to find anymore. Moved up to an AT Overland trailer that was cooler and purpose built, but actually wasn't as useful in the real world (sold also).

Dragged it behind my JK up to monument valley / Mexican hat. Horrible dust storm that blew away a bunch of tents. Sat inside and ate a delicious dehydrated dinner.

Look at the Smittybilt Scout. We’ve had it for a while now and absolutely love it. We spent $7,300 brand new on it, not including the tent or stove. Here are a couple of pictures with tent deployed at camp, and in the driveway hooked up. It will take 37” tires without any mods, and the hub pattern matches the JT at 5x5.

Sorry to bring up such and old thread, but where did you get that price? Only asking because I'm in the market at the moment.

Thanks

Price has gone up gone up to $8199 as a kit. You'd have to assemble it or pay someone to.

That I know. 4Wheelparts does assembly. Was just hoping to save a grand on it.

Thanks

Thanks, I got 10% off just for giving them my email address. Unfortunately, they're on backorder for who knows how long. They said to check back every 30 days.

That sucks. I'm in no rush since we're expecting a new baby June 3rd. So we will not be needing the trailer for several months.

There is one on Exped portal up in TO. A little more than the range you were looking at but with a tent already on it. Have seen it in person and it is pretty much like new.

 

[aprez27]

Already have the tent, it was over the bed of the Jeep last year. California is a little far for me too. Cheers.
