Yes you are right my mistake. What I meant was Lance is a lightweight designed to be towed with 1/2 ton and more appealing in that respect.
North woods MFG is built with a stronger heavier duty frame with shock absorbers,and also 15 inch wheels.
Lance has lighter not as strong frame and smaller whelels. Not sure about shocks or not. If I were going to go off road my choice would be Northwoods.
Also With bigger wheels comes a stronger and beefier axle.
Lance is a great trailer but hard to compare. To the Lance is my point 2 different builds and different era.
