Oh come on now, Aaron. Chryslker is being perfectly reasonable with those. Their list price is only twice what Adventure Trailers would charge for a higher quality version of the same thing  :) Then again, the Adventure Trailers model won't have those cool MOPAR parts...like the JK Sahara "chrome" rear bumper thingy.

Am I the only one that noticed that when the increased from the stock 32's to the "Extreme" 35's, they didn't bother making the trailer any taller? Methinks it might get hung up just a wee bit.

I just bought a 8ft tent trailer for $800, I highly suspect if iwas to invest an additional $9000 into it, it would be far more capable than the mopar trailer.....

I do think that it is great to see a manufacturer show that they actually try to understand who the are selling their vehicles to and are willing to develop accesories that cater to their needs.....

They likely won't have any trouble selling those to new pavement princess Jeep owners who want to have ALL the tough guy-off road accesories they can possibly roll into their payments.

"The all-new Jeep Trail Edition camper (MSRP: $9,995) and Extreme Trail Edition camper (MSRP: $11,995) may be ordered as Mopar accessories at local Jeep dealerships"

"For casual campers, the Jeep Trail Edition camper is designed to endure trails with its lightweight all-aluminum construction, 32-inch BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires, 12 inches of ground clearance, trailing-arm suspension, diamond-plated aluminum covering, and available 360-degree axis pintle hitch"

"For hard-core off-road enthusiasts, the Jeep Extreme Trail Edition camper ups the ante with a heavier frame, 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires, 15 inches of ground clearance, full-underbody skid plate, high-mounted fenders, and available 360-degree axis pintle hitch"

HA! for the low low price of 3X what your jeep costs you can have a tent trailer :)
