We could deadlift more weight than how much the incredible Earth Traveler T250LX weighsno, were not kidding. At only a lean 216 pounds, the Earth Traveler packs a serious punch for its weight class. Made entirely of carbon fiber and Corecell (spoiler: thats how they get it to be so light, but so durable), the trailers also made to be modular. Optional add-ons include pop-out side walls with tents and pop-up roofs for, well, even more tents. So at least some of your camping gear is already included in the asking price.

When youre on the road, the trailer travels nice and smallcollapsing to five feet tall, five feet wide, and 11 feet long. On the inside, youve got most of what you need for a road adventure. Amenities include a large, removable mat floor and five LED lights, which should be enough for whatever adventure youre undertaking. You also get a spare tire because, well, just in case.

So youve got the bare bones packagewhich comes in at about $31,000but there are so many add-ons beside the extra tents to sink your teeth into. These include, at the upper end, a $2,000 all-road package that adds an extra dose of suspension in case youre about to get a little wild off-road. And on the other end of the spectrum, some nice room-darkening shades for private time that only come in at $120. Oh, and a kitchen station add-on is in the works.

This featherweight-yet-indestructible trailer sure packs a wallop of features, sensible design language, and more than a few sweet add-ons. All in all, we must say: we cant wait to deadlift it.
