Jeep and ADDAX Release New Overland Trailer for Off-Road Adventure
What are some reasons someone might buy a new car? Maybe they just need personal transportation to get to their destination, or perhaps someone buys a new car for prestige. Some people buy a vehicle with a definitive purpose in mind, say, for adventure. Those are the kind of people that look for an off-road, Trail Rated 4×4. We call them Jeepers, and for those that want to go off the grid with their Jeep 4×4 SUV, the new Jeep-branded Edition by ADDAX Overland Trailer is the newest addition to the family.
“Together with the team at ADDAX, we are excited to announce the co-launch of the most cutting-edge overland trailer on the planet…The Jeep-branded Edition by ADDAX can truly follow a Jeep Trail-Rated vehicle anywhere and demonstrates the Jeep brand’s commitment to empowering our community with the gold standard in overlanding performance. Thanks to the Jeep-branded Edition, adventurers can now enjoy the most beautiful and remote places on Earth even longer.” – Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America
Designed for towing a payload of up to 1,200-pounds, this trailer has been designed to travel across rocky terrain. Once unthinkable without compromising the performance of a Jeep 4×4, the trailer’s high-strength and lightweight engineering overcome that challenge, giving off-roaders that require a lot of equipment the chance to go further into the woods and seek adventure. With a foldable tongue that can compact into 5-foot-by-6-foot dimensions, this new trailer can fit into most garages. Engineered with an independent torsion axle trailer suspension system provides for 17 inches of ground clearance, and has a chassis made of 3/16-inch military-grade steel –a steel body that is forcefully bent, versus being welded together – for the utmost safety and durability.
Standard features include the foldable tongue, an articulating hitch, a rear receiver hitch, a heavy-duty rack (custom for the Jeep-branded Edition by ADDAX Overland Trailer), four 8,000-pound stabilizing corner jacks, and an interior storage space of 35 cubic-feet. All of this makes the Jeep trailer one of the most capable trailers for off-road vehicles. It even won the 2022 Global Media Award at the 2022 SEMA Show during the co-launch.
Voted on by a panel of international judges, the SEMA Global Media Awards (GMA) Program recognizes automakers that manufacture specialty equipment products and accessories that would not only have an impact on the American market but would also have a mass appeal to consumers in countries outside of the United States. This year, the panel was made of 11 judges from seven countries, and nearly 2,000 product entries at the 2022 SEMA Show. With an international panel, the contest can get a good idea of how each judge felt about the appeal of each product in their home country, backing up the purpose of the GMA Program.
Adding this instant win as a feather in the cap for the Jeep-branded Edition by ADDAX Overland Trailer, it’s already clear how much of an impact this trailer has had on the auto industry. Leave it to Jeep to turn automakers heads upside down with a new off-road challenge. The best way to own this new trailer is to start by buying a new Jeep SUV from Aventura Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram.
