I had a chance to check-out this new Adventure Trailers Expedition Module, which replaces the bed of a regular cab or xtra-cab.

I thought it was a pretty cool solution:

Press Release

Hey Scott! Yeah,that's pretty nice looking!

 

[CronusTRD]

Does that turn into a tent platform or is it just a giant cooler?

 

[Backwoodsboy]

that looks real nice is that the same truck that was in this thread http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60892&highlight=chase+truck


that is a nice set up

Based upon the pics in that thread and the pics that Scott posted, I would say they are the same truck.

... Not to mention the name 'TacoChaser' is a dead giveaway (it's cited in the other thread's text ...) ....

I thought that truck looked familiar.

Its a nice idea! I like it. I would run it on a mild trail rig or expedition rig. I would be too worried to tear something like that up on my rock crawler.

 

[Backwoodsboy]

yeah but that flat sheet metal might be easier to fix than that nice toyota metal, but that would suck to get a bad enough dent you cant open any of the doors up

 

[Wgasa84]

At $4000 I'd rather build a flat bed 10x's for my crawler...

I think the hood, and top of the cab are the only pieces of sheet metal that are straight.

Looks pretty awesome but moneywise I would just get a flatbed.

Looks like a glorified tonneau cover with a cargo rack and some goodies...

I could see that, in basic mode. But the goodies themselves seem to be the point. With an xtra cab, or especially a regular cab, there's no room in the cab to mount a 60-quart fridge. Basically I think its directed more at the expedition crowd that is in love with their regular or extended cab. Makes sense if that's your crowd and you have the cash. Plus the fact the whole module is self contained is kinda nice.

and whats the price??

 

[ocdropzone]

w/o the fenders i wonder if it would slide into an existing bed....would just need to have the measurements from the bottom to the start of the angle..

 

[SAR_Squid79]

This is AWESOME! ...I think I just found the next evolution of my Truck!

...Wonder if it comes in white?

 

[Timbuddha]

$4000:rofl: I can buy a whole tent trailer for that!!

$4000:rofl: I can buy a whole tent trailer for that!!

And it would look real good behind your rig Cruising the Malls and Drive-In's. This bed is for Wheeling, not cruising DS. IMA, that's my :2cents: .

 

[Timbuddha]

Yeah, I just cruise malls and the local Starbucks in my rig.
