Outdoors would be a first choice, but I'm biased!! They have put a lot of new upgrades on all of the lines they make. Kinda mixed up the way they named them in the past, but if you spend time checking all the brochures, you'll see how they differ and what each line has or doesn't have. The Black Rock has been mucho upgraded, and is aimed at off road use as a selling feature. There are some options now that used to be standard, but the base package is much improved as far as suspension and boondocking capabilities.
Northwoods (Artic Fox & Nash) have many of the same features as ORV has, but has not (at this time anyway) moved toward what ORV has done with its builds. They are very off road capable, but, in my opinion (again!!), at this time ORV has many advantages to Northwood. Yes they are "sister" companies, but built separately and at different locations in La Grande.
We tow our Timber Ridge into the boonies most of the time. Sometimes over roads in WA & OR forests that look just as bad and worse than your stock photo. We have not suffered any problems doing this in 2 yrs of camping. I do wish we would have bought a year later, to get the many upgrades that came right after we wrote the check!!! But some upgrades are already in the works!!!
