UnderbellyEnclosed

KZ (Mixed tier): KZ's toy hauler line (Thor Industries), sold as Sportsmen Sportster through 2016, Sportster/Sportster 100 from 2017, and Sportster X since 2025. Construction is mid-pack for the segment — aluminum-framed laminated fiberglass walls, a 3/8" walk-on roof and a heated, enclosed underbelly — with a Tuff Ply garage floor and diamond-plate wall protection that hold up well. KZ's assembly quality is uneven unit to unit, which is why it lands in the middle rather than at the top.

YEAR BY YEAR: WHAT CHANGED

2025Introduced as part of the all-new Sportster X series
2026Published UVW/GVWR firmed up at 8,050 / 12,000 lb

FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: KZ is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

The short Sportster X — 14'4" garage, 12,000 lb GVWR and 3,950 lb of payload in a 28-footer.
