Guys that was beyond awesome!!! I suffer from extreme vehicular PTSD after a serious highway accident that left me on disability with neurological injuries. I can barely sit in a car in traffic and I'll never drive again. But I could spend the rest of my life having this kinda fun with my son behind the wheel! That was epic!!!!
I did a very extensive comparison and ended up buying the Black Series HQ21 pulled by a power wagon. I found them very different by way of amenities. The BS is a big step up overall.
The best thing about the Xplore is that is 100 percent sourced and made in the United States. The Black Series are all made in China, shipped over and then the Australian suspension is bolted on. Thats the main reason I decided to go with the Xplore over the Black Series. Plus the Xplore has dual purpose, the Black Series does one thing, it does it good, but only one thing. The Xplore does two things, it's an enclosed toy hauler/storage unit, and camper all in one.
I am more and more impressed with the Xplore after camping in it for almost a week and using. The insulation is for sure hands down the best I have ever experienced.
Amazing truck /trailer combo. Dream setup for anyone wanting to go in deep. But when I looked up the price for one of these campers, I almost threw up. I have a two up quad, so this is the perfect setup I have to say. By the way thanks for the grewling review. Not vary many people would have tried that.
For those of us who have been 4 wheeling, we KNOW how steep those hills really are by looking at the video. But if you've never been 4 wheeling and watch... I agree, no way to appreciate how steep those climbs can be.
Awesome rig guys. Luvin the video. Keep um coming. I luv my 15 AEV P.W. Prospector. I use it to tow my 10,000lbs tow hauler in the soft dune sand and beach sand not rock crawling. I go where no man has gone before. lol I may have to upgrade. Don't forget about your winch to pull it up from a tree or another vehicle.
How about that Power Wagon! I have a 2019 and it's nice to see what a capable tow rig it can be despite the low payload. I wouldn't buy an offroad trailer from anyone else but these guys. It's easy to tell people specs, but having actually put the trailers through more than what most people will ever even come close to is priceless experience. When the time comes to finally buy my dream trailer I will be giving these guys a call.
Okay guys here goes my personal review Shane and Michael you guys are nuts LOL you never seem to disappoint me been following y'all for several months now one love the Explorer even though hq19 is my favorite. 2 the unit handled very well just put the table away the next time LOL and number three you both have great communication skills. PS this question is for Shane do you think I can get reimbursed on my lazy boy executive chair I think I broke the arm watching this video or is that users are LOL. Love the videos keep them coming.
That looks like Little Moab? I also have a Power Wagon, so I really appreciate this video as it represents exactly what I would be towing with and some of the terrain I like to travel on. Great video!
Thank you sir, for showing us this man's dream! What more would a man need, seriously!!!!! Wow, the interior was surprisingly high end, plush finishes! The shower was also a surprise! Does this model,(sorry I forgot the model number), have any other interior choices? How many models do you carry, and where are they made?
We just got back from Moab last week and have some stuff that is pretty insane. We took the New Conquerors and I think people will be blown away. Stay tuned. For next Saturday.
Gotta be honest the axles look so far forward that during those climbs the trailer was likely zero weight on the ball or maybe even lifting the rear of the truck reducing traction. If this were a foot further back... I know it hurts turning though. Everything is a compromise! It's a great trailer
Very impressed. Since it is a toy hauler it would also be interesting to see how this performs with an ATV loaded in the trailer... Are there any specs on the size of ATV this can haul?
Now that you've taken your trailer off road - You do know you do not have to crawl it and huff and puff about it. Just keep going slow and steady. I see from your trailer it is highly beneficial having dual axles. I'll need another axle on my trailer. I'm building out a 6' x 10' cargo with single axle for out in the similar terrain. Just not the real steep hills but, definitely lots of rough uneven washed out rutty roads and steep down and out dry river beds (NE. AZ).
The steepness is more a test for the truck...the trailer will follow, given the truck makes it...The articulation and rocks do test the trailer...I think if Timbren could raise and lower like the x22, it would be sweet...thanks for the video!
Guys, I am really impressed with the trailer and the truck on how it went up those rocks and hills. You guys did an awesome and amazing job. I wish I had a trailer like that. But there is no way I could afford one. depressed now, while looking at my 7x14 trailer camper conversion.
You answered in the comments section of the Xplore mini tour video that you think the HQ 17/19 are more off road capable than the Xplore. After this, do you still think that's true?
Yes. For sure still think that. The Xplore did great. But You can't compare the Xplore to the HQ19. Different size. The Xplore and HQ17 are the same size. As far as the steep climb I would rather the Xplore because it is 2000lbs less then HQ17. But the HQ17 has more clearance and better departure angles. Thc independent suspension is king too especially for wash board. If the Xplore had independent suspension I would probably trade my 17 for it.. 😁 Overall I have become very impressed with the Xplore.
Im sorry to say as an American that I've watched a test being done by an Australian company called Bruder on a camper very similar to this and theirs puts this one to shame , I get it this was 2 years ago but im really ashamed of American craftsmanship when it comes to making campers , if I had a choice between this or a Bruder , I wouldn't even think about it , it would be a Bruder . Just look at they're testing in comparison to what you attempted , that should say it all .

Please do a black series comparison to the xplorer. Pros and cons of having trailer independent suspension etc.. Love the videos. Two thumbs up.
I did a very extensive comparison and ended up buying the Black Series HQ21 pulled by a power wagon. I found them very different by way of amenities. The BS is a big step up overall.
The black series is nothing compared to the xplore. Two totally different leagues
Very impressed with the trailer but even more impressed with the truck pulling a heavy trailer up and down those steep dirt hills. Wow.
It did pretty good. The trailer is not too heavy also. Probably 5,500lbs
The best thing about the Xplore is that is 100 percent sourced and made in the United States. The Black Series are all made in China, shipped over and then the Australian suspension is bolted on.

Where are you getting the Xplore?
@@ShaneStauffer777 In AZ, just outside Phoenix

Great video. I was really impressed with the Xplore and The PowerWagon. I’ve been looking at this this exact combo of truck and trailer.
Amazing truck /trailer combo. Dream setup for anyone wanting to go in deep. But when I looked up the price for one of these campers, I almost threw up. I have a two up quad, so this is the perfect setup I have to say. By the way thanks for the grewling review. Not vary many people would have tried that.
What’s the price for one these trailers.

ME TOO!
What you guys do with these trailers is amazing! To think we were standing in your Explorer just a few days ago.
Okay guys here goes my personal review Shane and Michael you guys are nuts LOL you never seem to disappoint me been following y'all for several months now one love the Explorer even though hq19 is my favorite. 2 the unit handled very well just put the table away the next time LOL and number three you both have great communication skills.

LOL! Definitely user error.. 😁
Thanks for the review. 😁

What is Leaking underneath at 3:52 ?

MAN INDESTRUCTIBLE TRAILER..LOVE HOW IT TOOK TRAIL..LOVE THE QUALITY!❤
Thanks for watching Miles!
Definitely enjoyed this video been looking these off roading trailers didn't even know can buy on like that all decked out frr off roading
One question.....a year later......what have y'all done to top that?! That was friggin off the chain! Epic proving grounds right there!
We just got back from Moab last week and have some stuff that is pretty insane. We took the New Conquerors and I think people will be blown away. Stay tuned. For next Saturday.
Can you do that with a utv in it for the extra weight
Gotta be honest the axles look so far forward that during those climbs the trailer was likely zero weight on the ball or maybe even lifting the rear of the truck reducing traction. If this were a foot further back... I know it hurts turning though. Everything is a compromise! It's a great trailer
Very impressed. Since it is a toy hauler it would also be interesting to see how this performs with an ATV loaded in the trailer...
Are there any specs on the size of ATV this can haul?
You're pulling this with a RAM, you'll be fine. If you were driving a Chevy than I'd worry.
Scary and crazy. Awesome trailer.
well someone bought some motion VFX effects! FYI if you switch to the M1 Mac they don't work.
You know I still think the bumps will rattle everything lose in it how waterproof are these ? I guess every trailer leaks but they are pricey
good so good I like it!
Great vid! Question: would my F150 be capable enough to pull, and stop, and able to take an XR22 full loaded for off grid on a trail such as this?
incredible what this trailer can go through
You have Offroad maps to show your pitch angles on film to help with explaining steepness.
Now that you've taken your trailer off road - You do know you do not have to crawl it and huff and puff about it. Just keep going slow and steady.
I see from your trailer it is highly beneficial having dual axles. I'll need another axle on my trailer. I'm building out a 6' x 10' cargo with single axle for out in the similar terrain.

Another great vid 👍
Do you think a 2012 Toyota Tundra (Rock Warrior) can tow this where you were?
Did remember to air down?
Yep
That is not a trail you could do without airing down... The climb part was too steep.
I will have one of these next week!
@@PrestonGladd cool, where you getting it?
@@ShaneStauffer777 Got ya...lol I could tell you did..just pulling your gerkin...lol
The steepness is more a test for the truck...the trailer will follow, given the truck makes it...The articulation and rocks do test the trailer...I think if Timbren could raise and lower like the x22, it would be sweet...thanks for the video!
Not much flex in the trailers Suspension, but it did very well!
At 3:54 something is leaking?
Guys, I am really impressed with the trailer and the truck on how it went up those rocks and hills. You guys did an awesome and amazing job. I wish I had a trailer like that. But there is no way I could afford one. depressed now, while looking at my 7x14 trailer camper conversion.
Power Wagon for the win.
Now that is 🥜!
Great option , both the truck and of course the camper; Thousand times better and cheaper than an earthroamer...
i dont understand. why not just leave it lifted while off road?
We just needed to move Xplore XR-22 down a little so that the hitch wouldn't hit the ground on some obstacles.
I am impressed with the camera guys ability to tilt camera just right to make the climbs look steeper!
Video can also be called "Ad for Ram Power Wagon"
The axles didn't have much travel at all. Maybe 2" worth? That doesn't seem good for off-road travel.
You answered in the comments section of the Xplore mini tour video that you think the HQ 17/19 are more off road capable than the Xplore. After this, do you still think that's true?
Yes. For sure still think that. The Xplore did great. But You can't compare the Xplore to the HQ19. Different size. The Xplore and HQ17 are the same size. As far as the steep climb I would rather the Xplore because it is 2000lbs less then HQ17. But the HQ17 has more clearance and better departure angles. Thc independent suspension is king too especially for wash board. If the Xplore had independent suspension I would probably trade my 17 for it.. 😁 Overall I have become very impressed with the Xplore.
Those trailers remind of jurassic Park movie
If that trailer had an electric all wheel drive system that could be controlled by the truck, this wouldn't even be an issue. 😁
Does anyone have any comments about towing this trailer with a 2018 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel? (Obviously I won’t be doing this extreme off roading😬)
I'm surprised that ram made it!!!!!!
i dont see how this is better than black series..no comparison..but i guess it comes down to price and preference
Im sorry to say as an American that I've watched a test being done by an Australian company called Bruder on a camper very similar to this and theirs puts this one to shame , I get it this was 2 years ago but im really ashamed of American craftsmanship when it comes to making campers , if I had a choice between this or a Bruder , I wouldn't even think about it , it would be a Bruder .
Just look at they're testing in comparison to what you attempted , that should say it all .
This looks like a fish house with some upgrades for off-road, then sold for 70k plus.
Can you get the hybrid suspension with the explorer fish house (standard)? I'll go with the HQ 17 for 60k
The suspension of the Bruder is more efficient
their made for Australia, and it has no altitude lol
why in the hell would you take a camper up there , hahahahah
thats way to steep to drag that anchor
I bet it's empty.
Your wrong. It is not empty
