A compact tagalong designed to explode into a fully equipped hunting camp, the new Built For Xtreme (BFX) is a fundamental building block of outdoor preparedness. Using a series of locking compartments, slides and modular mounts, the trailer packs dedicated space for everything from all-day coffee, to hunting and angling equipment, to off-road recovery tools, to satellite communications, fully bridging the gap between the primal and the modern worlds. Born from the needs of the agriculture industry, Built For Extreme is a young spinoff of Iowa-based Harvest International, manufacturer of some impressively large, rugged tilling and planting machinery like that imposing monster right below.
The company already has experience building agricultural trailer equipment, and BFX extends its footprint to the hunting and camping markets. Steel sharpens steel, they say, and the 14.5-foot-long (4.
4-m) BFX trailer eschews the usual aluminum body construction in favor of American-made steel body panels atop a powder-coated steel chassis. Adding to the go-anywhere ruggedness, a heavy-duty independent suspension combines a pair of shocks and an airbag at each wheel to put some big cushion behind the aggressive 35 x 12.50R15LT Thunderer off-road.
That combo opens up a clean 26 inches (66 cm) of ground clearance. The BFX stands out in a market loaded with off-road camping trailers of various styles and sizes because it was born from a different point of inspiration. Rather than being designed .
