Now I am jealous! I definitely like this new quad pod platform.

Apparently Forest River can't resist trying to make rpods like every other humongous trailer out there getting more and more away from the little trailer that can be towed with a small tow vehicle.
 
Glad we got our 177 before it was too late.

Looks like a disaster waiting to happen with all that weight in the back.  And, this has to be the ugliest thing I've seen.

Well, the purpose is to tote your toys up front.. our 4 wheelers weigh quite a bit.. but I don't want to go camping with them.. If I did, I would have bought a toy hauler.. which is what this is.

(But we would rather tow that Bambi in the background for sure)

That is crazy looking. They should have made a real TH version instead of this cheap version.

I love and use the heck out of our TH, that's why we have one.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid so:
 
 
This is the most hideous-looking travel trailer I've ever seen.

It seems like you would  have too much weight up front and over 30 ft of trailer. How long is that beast? Wouldn't it be hard to load from the side? I don't see any advantage over a standard toy hauler. I don't think it would be towable with a half ton rig, not with a couple of quads loaded.

It has a dry weight of 3,504lbs and a payload capacity of 3,858lbs. It would start getting a little heavy for a 1/2 ton but it would just give me a reason to get that F250 Super Duty I've always wanted!
