240k on a 2009 model.
It didn't leak. It pulled great behind my '04 Canyon as it was completely in the slipstream.
I ended up buying a sled, and switched the trailer over to sled use/storage and replaced it with a 7x12 6' tall trailer for the bikes. It was much nicer for all those weekends at the track, much better to work in, camp out in etc... But it was hugely noticeable behind that little truck... Ended up buying a full size pick up to solve that issue.
Should have just stayed with the smaller trailer. Still have the full size truck, bought a hitch carrier and sold the big trailer. Building a rail style trailer to be pulled behind my Subaru and the truck will just sit unless needed for the boat.
I am building a truck cap with a lift up roof this summer. Will have enough room for a collapsible bed and room to get dressed. Don't need much more honestly. Minimum weight, easy set up, easy to heat if needed etc.
Those Australian built campers and such are a great source of ideas.

don't import them as it doesn't pass DOT. C'est le vie.
Looks are polarizing and the base model is a gas 270hp v6. Being a gas toyota it will run forever verse the Euro Diesels that choke to death on emission controls. Wish Hundai made a slightly longer version of their van. That diesel engine can last forever with a few tricks.
To the Aussies, do you not have full size 1/2 ton trucks in Australia? I always see the little mid sized ones and the “utes”. But never see a Chevy 1500 or 2500.
Why is that?
The new Hiace.
And I’m more jealous for Aussies getting the Land Cruiser pickups.
Personally i like the new Hiace except wish it was a 3 seater not the two.
OZ Moto / Enduro etc virtual ran on them, in the decades past. Even the 'Stars' traveled our Vast continent in them.
Now, like everything, everywhere, it's seems to have become about one upmanship / showing how much money you have (or, had).
I go to events now, even club races, and things have gotten pretty bloody fancy.
I've still got my 20 year old. LWB, Mid Top van, with rails and wheel chocks in the back , for up to 5 bikes, an extra row of seats, and a roll up mattress, quietly rusting away under my carport. Waiting for the 20 year old sedan to cark it, to then be put back into use - hell, it's only got about 150,000K on the clock - the old family Fairmont has 340,000K (kept after being offered $300 trade in when I bought my Old Mum a new little KIA) - still going strong! I spend my money on 2 wheels, and, Travel, mostly - not bloody cars.
Those 'tilt top' trailers? I've a few mates that had them. Worked well for them, mostly, with a good front cowl / spoiler, created very little extra fuel consumption, tow well, and, they can be stored more easily. But, the angle of the opened roof took some getting used to. They'd, inevitably, congregate around my Van, with it's Awning, and my QuickShade, as being more comfortable.
Full 'pop' top ones seem better.
But, bloody hell, the makers sure do know how to charge for them!
The Camping - "Glamping" - trailers out there can be mind boggling.
The clever design elements of them, are Very impressive, at times. And, that can be hard and expensive to do / make. I went to a camping and caravan show a while back with a mate who thinks he's Harry Butler, and the variety of the Bush Trailers was quite remarkable. And, the prices of them, even more so. Well, bloody astounding. I saw a couple, that were well, well over the $100K range.
