Utah startup Addax Outdoors unleashed a rather unexpected micro-camping trailer on the floor of SEMA 2022. While rugged teardrop-sized trailers are par for the course at the high-flash auto supplier show, the original Addax Overland trailer was developed with a rare combination of military toughness and land speed record vehicle expertise. It sized in even tinier than the typical off-road tagalong and wore official "Jeep" badging. The rugged, little sub-teardrop Jeep trailer, now named the Basecamp, has run through a full V3.0 update regimen and packs more trail and adventure readiness than ever. It's an electrified steel core ready to explode into a multi-sport adventure base.

Toyota's global-market Hilux pickup platform and its turbo-diesel engine is already highly coveted unobtainium in the US, and it's about to get more attractive than ever. A forthcoming upgrade will make it even better for trades workers, off-roaders, overlanders and other diehard truck fans, boosting available payload so the incomparably rugged little truck can carry more weight, whether we're talking stacks of landscaping rock or expansive camper setups.
