If you’ve been interested in adding a trailer to your overlanding setup, meet Sprocket, the newest trailer from Off Grid Trailers (OGT). This new offering is modular, so you can start small and grow slowly as you add more accessories. Off Grid chose to build the Sprocket off the same chassis as their well-known Expedition trailer, as a lighter-weight and more affordable option. Its all-metal construction gives it extra structure, upping its off-road performance. We’ve known Off Grid Trailers for their quality craftsmanship and engineering, so we’re excited to see how this new trailer performs. The Sprocket comes with fewer standard features than the other Off Grid offerings, which is reflected in its price. “We have designed the trailer with modularity in mind, to make way for the after-market and passionate D.I.Y enthusiasts at an affordable entry price,” explains Off Grid Trailers. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter Upgrade your base camp The Sprocket is compact in size for a queen-size sleep-in trailer, making it lightweight and easy to tow. Plus, the trailer is R10 insulated and includes pass-through rear storage. While the base model Sprocket won’t include a kitchen or onboard water, Off Grid Trailers has made those options easier to add on after the fact. On the exterior of the trailer are even more modular storage options, including two optional roof racks with a static load rating of 1000 lbs. Standard on the Sprocket trailers is a capable Timbren 3500 HD Axle-less suspension, but if you’re planning on doing serious off-roading with the trailer, you can upgrade to an OGT Evolution Series Suspension, which provides 8 inches of wheel travel and an additional 4 inches of ground clearance. As the adventures change and develop, you can purchase new accessories for the trailer at your own pace. When the kids require their own sleeping space, you can add a full-length roof rack to support a roof top tent. If you decide to opt for more storage, you can install additional side boxes. Do your plans involve tackling tougher terrain? You can upgrade the trailer’s suspension. If you’re planning on becoming a serious camp chef, you can add on a complete camp kitchen.
