Good to see Track branching out with new idea's.  I would be interested to see pics off the soft floor side fold concept.

I do like the work trailer though ;D

Interesting concept, and of course the best suspension in the business.
But with a price of over 10K for the base model rising to around 20K for the top of the line it's a bit too exxy in my opinion.
If you could buy the bare bones chassis and suspension for a reasonable price it would make the basis of a fantastic DIY campertrailer.

Where did you see those prices? I'd heard a bit over $7k for the base model.

The MC2 suspension is where the cost is.
Still have to pay to original designers etcetc Id guess

I had a look over this at the Caulfield show and it is certainly a solid unit with the ability to lift off the sleeping area to create a very solid work trailer. It also had the newly designed Hitchmaster DO35 hitch on it which is designed to keep the mud out of the workings.

Cheers

Prices were on a brochure next to the display trailers at the Vic caravan and camping show.

In 2008 I enquired to Track about this very idea at the Penrith show  They do indeed sell (or did back then) rolling chassis and IIRC they quoted $4500.  So a definite possibility
