The Explorer Snow distinguishes itself from the Thunder series by including a broader set of standard upgrades — two-tone exterior skin with divider strip and decal, a lighted grab handle, stainless steel door hardware, and a 44″ deluxe storage cabinet — without requiring option packages. The all-aluminum one-piece roof and screwless bonded exterior skin reduce long-term maintenance compared to steel-framed or screw-applied panel alternatives.
Key Features & Benefits
All-Aluminum One-Piece Roof
The one-piece all-aluminum roof eliminates seams that can allow water infiltration, and is backed by a 25-year warranty against corrosion and deterioration. For contractors and outfitters storing equipment seasonally, this provides long-term protection without recurring maintenance costs.
Screwless Bonded .030 Aluminum Exterior Skin
The bonded, screwless exterior skin eliminates exposed fasteners that can loosen, corrode, or allow moisture intrusion over time. The two-tone finish with divider strip and decal delivers a professional appearance that holds up through repeated seasonal use.
E-Z Lube Torsion Axles
E-Z Lube torsion axles simplify routine bearing maintenance by allowing grease to be added without disassembly, reducing service downtime. Torsion suspension also provides independent wheel articulation for a smoother ride when hauling sensitive powersports equipment over varied terrain.
Dual Front & Rear Ramp Doors
Both the front and rear openings are equipped with ramp doors, enabling drive-through loading of snowmobiles, ATVs, and UTVs without repositioning the trailer. The rear ramp measures 74″ wide × 76″ tall and the front ramp 62″ wide × 74″ tall, accommodating a wide range of vehicle widths.
LED Interior & Exterior Lighting
Two 12V rectangle LED dome lights with a wall switch provide bright, energy-efficient interior illumination for loading and unloading in low-light conditions. Surface mount LED exterior lighting ensures full road visibility and compliance with towing requirements.
44″ Deluxe Storage Cabinet
A standard 44″ deluxe cabinet (with clothes bar on tandem and triple axle models) provides dedicated storage for gear, tools, and accessories inside the trailer. This keeps cargo organized and secured without consuming floor space needed for equipment.
White Vinyl Interior with 24″ Wood Kick
The white vinyl wall and ceiling finish brightens the interior for easier visibility when loading and inspecting equipment. The 24″ wood kick panel along the lower wall protects the interior finish from scuffs and impacts during loading operations.
5-Year Structural Warranty
The Explorer Series carries a 5-year structural warranty covering the main frame, sub frame, bottom rails, cross-members, wall uprights, and top rails or roof bows — providing buyers with confidence in the long-term integrity of the trailer's core structure.
Common Applications
Snowmobile Transport
The Explorer Snow is Legend's #1 selling snowmobile trailer, with interior heights of 78″ and widths of 79″ providing ample clearance for full-size sleds. Front and rear ramp doors allow drive-through loading for multi-sled configurations.
ATV & UTV Hauling
The wide ramp doors and flat floor accommodate side-by-side UTVs and ATVs, with tandem and triple axle GVWR ratings up to 8,500# supporting heavier utility vehicles.
Powersports Equipment
Motorcycles, dirt bikes, and other powersports equipment can be loaded via the rear ramp and secured using optional tie-down points, with the enclosed aluminum body protecting equipment from road debris and weather during transport.

The durable 3/4″ engineered wood floor and high GVWR options make the Explorer Snow suitable for hauling commercial lawn and landscape equipment between job sites.
