You electrified the truck. The trailer didn't get the memo. Aslin Power Trailers drives its own wheels — so your electric or hybrid vehicle tows without losing range.
You electrified the truck. The trailer didn't get the memo. Aslin Power Trailers drives its own wheels — so your electric or hybrid vehicle tows without losing range.
Your electric or hybrid truck is the most advanced vehicle you've ever owned. And then you hitch up. Range craters by 40–60%. The trip becomes a math problem — where to charge, how long it costs the crew. You start managing a problem you never used to have.
The truck isn't the problem. It's the trailer. A hundred years of dead weight dragging behind the most sophisticated drivetrain on the road.
Passive load. No energy of its own. Steals range from the tow vehicle and gives nothing back. A hundred years without a reason to change — until now.
Active partner. Carries its own energy, drives its own wheels, and gives the range back. The category the electric truck always needed — purpose-built from first principles.
We're launching with a single, fully-realized product — the Aslin Toy Hauler 150. Engineered to deliver up to 150 miles of towing range for the powersports owner. LFP battery. Aluminum frame. Axle-mounted motor. Torsion suspension. Nothing present that doesn't earn its place.
Don't let the 3,500 lb GVWR fool you into thinking it's the "small" option. That number is the trailer's maximum loaded weight — roughly 1,700 lb of payload, enough for a full-size ATV plus a weekend of gear. Tow it with any EV, hybrid, truck, or SUV rated to pull 3,500 lb or more, which is the vast majority of them. The Toy Hauler 150 isn't built for one small car — it's built for the powersports load, and it works behind whatever you already drive.
You electrified the truck.
You did the right thing — for your wallet, for the air, for what comes next.
And then you hitched up, and the system broke.
The range cratered. The trip turned into math.
Where to charge. When to charge. How long it would cost the crew.
You started managing a problem you never used to have.
Here's what nobody told you: it wasn't the truck. It was the trailer.
A hundred years of dead weight dragging behind the most advanced machine you've ever owned.
You can't half-electrify a system and expect it to work.
So finish it.
A powered trailer carries its own energy and drives its own wheels.
It stops stealing your range and starts sharing the load.
The truck does its job. The trailer does its job. The system is whole.
The Aslin Toy Hauler 150 is engineered to deliver the longest possible towing range for its load class — up to 150 miles. DCFC compatible for rapid top-up on long hauls. Regenerative braking on descents returns energy to the battery. These numbers are the result of optimizing a real system of tradeoffs, not a marketing claim layered on a generic trailer.
Powered wheels actively contribute to stability and braking — eliminating a primary cause of trailer accidents: sway. Smart onboard sensors manage speed differentials and load distribution in real time. Independent torsion suspension on every axle. The Aslin trailer does not just follow the truck — it participates in the drive.
Self-powered wheels enable full remote maneuverability when unhitched — no wrestling the trailer into position by hand. Hook-up assistance mode simplifies the hitch process. Storage hibernation mode manages battery health during long periods of inactivity. The Aslin trailer is not passive cargo — it is an intelligent system that makes every step of the operation easier.
The Aslin battery doesn't stop working when the truck turns off. Charge e-bikes and e-ATVs. In Party Mode, power speakers, coolers, and camp lighting. The trailer is not just transportation to the adventure — it is the energy infrastructure of the adventure itself. Camp is better when it runs on Aslin.
