    What autoevolution covered

    autoevolution ran a headline that basically amounted to: this is real, and almost nobody has heard of it yet. Accurate on both counts at the time.

    The first Jeep-branded overlanding trailer arrived without years of teaser campaigns behind it, which meant the initial reaction from the automotive press was a mix of interest and squinting. A licensed trailer from a company most readers had never encountered is exactly the kind of thing that sounds made up until you walk around it.

    Their coverage runs through what the trailer is and why the Jeep tie-up isn't cosmetic. Built to tow behind a Wrangler through terrain that ends most trailers, with the engineering review to back the name on the side.

    Plenty of people have heard of it since. autoevolution has covered us several times over in the years after — see the current Basecamp for how far the thing has come.
