AT’s suspension system employs a long trailing arm in conjunction with an airbag and shock absorber. The ride is far superior to either leaf springs or torsion axles. “The decision to create this new system came from our experiences in Baja” said Donovan, VP for Design. “We developed a suspension that would hold up to the conditions down there while protecting cargo and providing a high quality towing experience.”
The bolt-together panelized construction of the Chaser™ is available fully assembled or in kit form. “The base trailer can be put together with regular hand tools in about 4 hours” said Donovan. “In the course of a weekend, assembling a fully equipped trailer wouldn’t be out of reach for the average handyperson.”
The Chaser™ reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to quality and design. You’ll find nothing dated about the Chaser™, apart from its retro look. Coming in at 700 lbs, this trailer can be easily towed by a vehicle as small as a Subaru Outback, while at the same time looks at home behind a Hummer. With the fully adjustable suspension, it can run from 31” to 38” tires.
While Donovan provides the in-depth 4X4 experience for AT, Davies, VP Development, contributes a wealth of expedition and family camping knowledge; this winning combination has paid off once again for AT in the new Chaser™ design.
AT is a Southern California based company with the production facility in Colton. In addition to the Chaser™ they also produce the larger Horizon™ Off Road trailer. AT has also designed rugged trailers for medical service applications as well as custom configurations for outfitters and adventure tour companies.

The Chaser™ is designed in a modular fashion so accessories can be bolted in place at any time. This component approach allows the owner to customize the trailer to their requirements and budget. The total cargo carrying capacity is a whopping 2800 lbs and 46 cubic feet. The expandable roof rack system allows for a variety of different accessories, so carrying bikes, boards, or kayaks is no problem. The air bag suspension system was designed by our engineering department in response to our experiences in brutal off road conditions in Baja California. The beauty of the suspension is that it provides a premium ride both on the highway and on the trail. As Scott Brady from Expeditions West said “I’ve consulted with AT to produce a fully equipped trailer that’s for overland travelers, not tourists.”
