SPACE Trailers have been making custom overland trailers since 2009, but their new Hitch & Go line comes pre-built in three popular configurations. The ready-to-roll models save you time and money if you don’t need full customization, but can easily be modified in the future as your needs change, too.
Like all their trailers, they are crafted in Red Wing, Minnesota from 1/2″ plywood poly-coated on both sides for weather protection and durability. The 1/4” thick HDPE molded top shell is light, tough, and UV resistant, and heavy-duty gas cylinders help lift it for easy access to the cargo hold, even when the cross bars are loaded.
They come equipped with 15-inch aluminum wheels with highway-rated radial tires and are compatible with 2-inch ball hitches.
The cargo bed is 4′ x 7’ with three different heights. The cover is removable, turning it into an open air cargo trailer with a tailgate, perfect for moving, hauling mulch, etc.
Six tie-down rings in the bed secure your gear, and side-mounted LUV Handles provide extra security to lock down your gear and make it easy to maneuver off the car.
Vertical bumpers on the back let you store it upright, and the tongue folds down so you can just tuck it into a corner of your garage until it’s needed. Brilliant.
The three models – Camping, Kayaking, and Travel – are each purpose built based on how people most commonly use them. But they share some key specs:
- Weight: approx. 625 pounds
- 1000lb Total load capacity (1625lb total GWVR)
- 15-inch aluminum wheels with matching spare
- 72 inches Space Bars (cross bars)
- 225lb dynamic load on cross bars
- 600lb static load on cross bars
- Heavy duty cylinder plus stabilizer jacks
Here’s the details for each model:
Camping Trailer
From the base trailer, the Camping Utility Trailer ($8,559 to $10,499) features front and rear stabilizer jacks to give you a solid platform for your home away from home. And that home is an included Thule Foothill 2-person tent. This and the Kayak trail come with off-road tires. This trailer has a 5.5-foot-long tongue and comes in 10 colors.
Travel Trailer
The Travel Utility Trailer ($6,449 to $8,499) pulls double duty. Use it on the road as a gear and toy hauler or use it around the house for Home Depot runs while knocking out your honey-do list.
With a standard 4-foot tongue, it’s shorter off the back of your vehicle for better urban and on-trail maneuverability, just mind the standard street tires before you get too rowdy. And with 72-inch-wide Space Bars on top, you’ve got ample space for an RTT, kayak racks, bike racks, rocket boxes, whatever.
Kayak Trailer
The Kayak Utility Trailer features a 6.5-foot XL tongue and 72-inch wide space bars for the length and width you need for longer boats. The Kayak trailer comes with rear stabilizer jacks and a Thule Compass Kayak Rack, perfect for your next water-based adventure. This one also comes in 10 different colors.
Making It Your Own
Just because these trailers are ready to go “off the shelf,” doesn’t mean there isn’t some room for quick and easy customization. Each trailer comes in two different ride heights, choose according to the height of your ball hitch. You’ve got the LowRider ST with a 17-inch tongue height, and the HighRider ST and HighRider XL with a 21-inch tongue height.
Upgrading to the HighRider XL nets you stronger welds on the galvanized steel frame, increased capacity, and higher ground clearance. You’ll get 85 cubic feet of weather-tight storage with a 2,300-pound hauling capacity and gross axle weight of 3,000 pounds. The max interior height is 36 inches, and it comes in three colors.
SPACE Trailers are a good option for anyone wanting to haul ALL the toys to their favorite outdoor playground. They’re super light, just about any vehicle can tow them. They’re compact, so negotiating tight trails is no problem.
