History of Mammoth Overland
Mammoth Overland is a company based in Woodinville, Washington, and was founded in 2021 as a subsidiary of Vashon Aircraft. The company's parent firm, Vashon, was established in 2012 by John Torode with the goal of building an affordable all-metal light aircraft. Mammoth Overland's trailers are made from the same aluminum as the aircraft and are held together with the same rivets.
The company's first trailer, the HV, was a teardrop trailer built as a riveted double-wall aluminum shell around high-density foam insulation. It was initially pitched to pilots at air shows but later found a large audience in the overlanding community. The XLE trailer was developed in 2023 after customers repeatedly asked whether the trailers were bear-proof.
Features of the XLE Trailer
The XLE trailer measures 18 feet 4.2 inches long and 9 feet 5.5 inches tall, and weighs 4,500 lbs dry. It has an impressive 22 inches of ground clearance and rides on 33 inch HD terrain tires with forged aluminum wheels. The trailer features a range of protective systems, including bullet-resistant windows, remotely operated blast shields, and a reinforced vault-style rear door.
The exterior of the XLE is fitted with a 360º night-vision CCTV array and a remote sonic defense system. The trailer also features a range of built-in power systems, including a 1,200 amp-hour lithium battery bank and a 400-watt solar array. For connectivity, it has an integrated Starlink system that offers high-speed broadband internet almost anywhere on the face of the earth.
