Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

[XJOverlander]

I never got a letter. Do the trailers still look the same?

Yes pretty identical from 5 feet. Just a few things slightly different, definitely the tongue. I heard it will be at the long beach truckfest this weekend and ill get a peek when i go there.

I got contacted by SmityBuilt today and they are definitely taking care of me in this...

That is great to hear.

So I have made up my mind on the scout, but would like to hear from those 4runner and Tacoma owners about the width of the trailer. Is it any wider than the vehicles? I want to be able to park the trailer in my garage so want to make sure before I hit the buy button. Thanks

I pull mine with my 06 Taco, it is just slightly wider than the truck but I am running 2" wheel adapters making the track 4" wider but allows me to use Tacoma rims.

I also tow with a Tacoma.. no issues. Goes where the truck goes just fine.

Thanks guys. My only doubt was it fitting in my garage. My last 2 trailers were kept outside and I do not want to do that again. Harsh on it. I will not be running 33" tires either.

I had mine in the garage for about a year, but now it is in the hanger. I had no issues in the garage.

Mine is sitting on 34's with the RTT and it fits in the garage. I "think" I have a couple more inches I can go up on the tent mount before it becomes a ship in a bottle.

Mine will be ready in April. I was told that they will start coming with VIN numbers now. Anyone else heard that?

I was told by my local dealer yesterday that the new units will come with a Vin.

 

[XJOverlander]

With the OEM tire/wheel combo mine fits In the garage with the spare mounted on the top of the trailer and the smittybilt XL tent on top of it.

The lid is being mounted. 2 inch stainless hinge.
Now trying to gauge the size and location of the gas struts.
