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
  • 2026Introduced
FINDING ONE

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

THE READ

New for 2026: 13'8" garage with a washer/dryer prep and 4,220 lb of payload. KZ had not published a sleeps rating at launch; 6 is inferred from the bed count.
