Overlanding with a trailer!

[Jayd-S]

This trailer was quietly mentioned just a week ago: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...threadid=25563

I don't know anything about importing a trailer or how currency translates from AU to CA but these things seem WAAAYY over-priced to me! They are cool but not $50,000 cool!

Commander and 490 are bigger versions and more expensive. Don't see pricing on 440 but probably 35-43k (base option) + shipping.

Saw the youtube vid of that one a couple of weeks ago. That is one of the few trailers I have seen that I would consider overlanding with. Most seem like more trouble than they are worth.

Thanks guys for the input. Yup they sure are pricey and even more crazy, used trailers are fetching more than new! Must be a shortage in production. It would make sense to find something similar here, if there is such a beast. Sure look like a lot of fun though and could make a big difference if you get really stuck somewhere and had to wait a while for help.

I'm not sure how you would mount a pintle hitch to a VX. I think I have seen slide-in pintles for a receiver hitch so that may be a non-issue.

Although being heavy on the tent side of things I have been looking at the Jumping_Jack trailer

It is made a mile away from where I live & is one of the most versatile trailers I have seen. Not sure of price yet tho.
