ACTIVE POD Pioneer in action
Pioneer

Your go-anywhere trail POD

The Pioneer is built for rough roads and real overlanding. High-clearance trailing arm suspension, electric brakes, and a heavy-duty galvanised chassis turn the same enclosed POD body into a stable, confident partner on the roads less travelled.

One trailer that earns its space all week.

Overland routes

Match your trail-capable truck or SUV with a trailer that keeps up over corrugations, washouts, and rutted tracks.

Remote hunts & fishing trips

Keep gear, food, and clothing sealed and secure while you travel into remote areas where dust, mud, and weather are part of the journey.

Long-distance mixed terrain

From highways to forest roads, the Pioneer keeps its composure and protects your kit so you arrive ready—not repacking.

FAQ

Common Questions

What brake controller do I need for the Pioneer?

The Pioneer uses standard electric brakes compatible with most modern in-cab brake controllers. Your dealer can recommend and fit a suitable controller for your tow vehicle.

Can I tow the Pioneer on difficult off-road tracks?

The Pioneer is engineered for rough terrain and "roads less travelled." As with any trailer, your actual capability depends on driver skill, tow vehicle, loading, and local conditions. Always drive within your limits.

What is the ground clearance on the Pioneer?

The Pioneer features high-clearance trailing arm suspension that provides significantly more ground clearance than standard models. See the full specs for exact measurements.
