Highway Lite FAQ
What can tow a Highway Lite?
At just 765–825 lbs as built with a 1,900 lb GVWR, the Highway Lite tows behind almost any vehicle with a 2″ ball and 7-pin connection — including many small SUVs and sedans. Check your vehicle’s rated towing capacity to confirm.
What makes it ‘Lite’?
The Highway Lite is our most compact and affordable model, built on a 4′×8′ footprint with a focus on the camping essentials — galley, sleeping space, power, and storage — without the extra weight.
Can I add off-road capability?
The Highway Lite is designed as a highway/road model. For dirt, gravel, and light off-roading, step up to the Mid Range; for rugged terrain, see the Extreme Off Road.
How is it built and where?
Every Highway Lite is hand-built to order in the USA. Because each trailer is custom, your final spec and price are confirmed when you configure your build with a Hiker trailer expert.
