The iconic Airstream silver bullet just got smaller, good news if you don’t drive a full-size pickup.

the Airstream Basecamp. With a base weight of 2,585 pounds, you can (just barely) pull it behind a Subaru Outback.
Loaded with gear, it has a trailer capacity of 3,500 pounds. You’ll need a slightly larger truck for that.
But most small pickups and SUVs, and many crossovers, can also easily handle a pull-behind in the 2,500 – 3,500 pound range.


It is the lightest trailer in the Airstream fleet, which, combined with an aggressive departure angle, large wheels and tires, and aggressive side flares, makes uneven terrain accessible and towing easier.



The brand claims to have designed the Basecamp with the “outdoors in mind.” As such, it has panoramic windows and “subtle decoré” that follow an earth-tone theme.

It looks like a lovely camper, but comes with a hefty price. Basecamp has an MSRP of $34,900 and will be available in October.
