Thor Outlaw 29J vs Outdoors RV Trail Series 25TRX
The difference that matters
A drivable toy hauler against a towable one. The Thor Outlaw 29J puts its garage on a Ford 7.3L V8 chassis with a 14,500 lb GVWR and can still pull 8,000 lb behind it, so you can bring a trailer as well as toys. It sleeps five and has a 4.0 kW dual-fuel generator with an automatic transfer switch, ducted air conditioning, a tankless water heater, 100 W of solar and automatic leveling jacks.
The Outdoors RV Trail Series 25TRX needs a capable truck: 8,900 lb dry with a 1,500 lb hitch and a 13,995 lb GVWR, leaving 5,095 lb of cargo capacity. In exchange it gives a ramp rated for 3,000 lb, a 40-gallon fuel station, a Cummins Onan 4K generator, 400 W of solar, 6,800 lb axles on load-range G tires and a fully enclosed, heated underbelly. Its tanks are larger at 100 gallons fresh and 65 gray against 40 and 34.5.
Owners without a heavy truck lean to the Outlaw. Those who already have one get more off-grid capacity in the 25TRX.
