For even more go-anywhere ruggedness, the rugged independent suspension combines a pair of shocks and airbags at each wheel to put a big cushion behind the aggressive 35 x 12.50R15LT Thunderer Off-Road. This combination provides a ground clearance of 66 cm (26 inches).
The BFX stands out in a market filled with off-road camping trailers of various styles and sizes. Because BFX came from a different point of inspiration.

BFX not only helps outdoor chefs prepare dinner, but also allows chefs to source and process dinner before cooking. It starts with a fishing rod holder mounted inside the top rack that carries up to four different rods. Below, three 57-inch (144.8 cm) long slide-outs housed within strut-assisted folding hatches, each sized to hold up to four gun cases, are ideal for anglers and hunters. We provide integrated support for both. Of course, if you don’t bring your gun with you, these slideouts are also useful for coolers, general storage boxes, and other cargo.
In addition to serving as a basic cooking surface or table, the folding hutch also comes with two oversized poly cutting boards and can also be used as a butcher’s table for processing fish and game. However, you don’t need to butcher meat or carve fish to use the table, making it perfect for preparing any style of meal. You can also pull out half of the cutting board and use the other side of the bare folding hatch to hold your stove, utensils, condiments, or even an entire knife block.
The optional jib crane is another unique multi-purpose component, primarily intended for lifting game for handling, but also capable of lifting other large, heavy items such as spare wheel/tire assemblies or generators. It can also be lifted and removed.

The rear corner of the driver’s side of the trailer also houses a marine waterproof battery box. The house battery powers the on-board water pump, 360-degree area floodlighting system, and available electrical accessories.
On the other side of the BFX is a water supply system that combines a 151 L freshwater tank and a tankless water heater. There is no formal sink or faucet, but the system includes a hose, faucet, or shower connection.
Built For Extreme doesn’t waste space and uses the front end of the trailer to house a lockable sealed storage box and upper rack mounts for attaching Starlink or Dish tailgate satellites. An available mounting system allows owners to secure a 32-inch TV to a trailer.
Buyers can choose to dedicate their BFX to hauling serious gear and utilities, or turn it into a complete campervan. Built For Extreme offers Roofnest rooftop tents with several Freespirit RTT and awning options, and buyers can always attach another rooftop tent purchased elsewhere.
Steel may make steel sharper, but it will never make it lighter. BFX trailers have a dry weight of 3,410 pounds (1,547 kg), which is significantly heavier than trailers with structural aluminum or composite materials in their construction.

Prices for BFX trailers start at $24,750 for the fully equipped base form and top out for the fully optioned version with Freespirit EVO V2 rooftop tent, 270-degree sidewalled awning, 66 L cooler, 538 L storage bag, and jib That comes out to $32,425.
