ADGU vs Trekboxx

[mschop]

Hi all,

I’m looking at kitchen drawer setups between these two vendors. Both are premium drawers and are regarded as best in market with raving fans.

After hours of researching here/instagram/facebook, I’m struggling to decide between the two. Would love to hear how others landed on one over the other.

Trekboxx Alpha
Pros:

1. Incredibly durable; frequently cited as “overbuilt” in a good way
2. Full Alpha system seems a bit cheaper than the latest ADGU for comparable builds
3. Haven’t heard anyone say anything negative except maybe the weight
4. Line-X coating is highly durable (I’ve used it on my truck and can attest)
5. Fridge setup appears to fit my Dometic 75
6. Pull-out seems more stable than ADGU based on the clips I’ve seen
7. Latest model has been tried and true in the field for longer
8. Drawers are marginally bigger than ADGU (e.g., passenger at 37.7 x 14.5 x 9.9 vs 36x13x8.75)

Cons:

1. More than 300 lbs
2. Sent a few email inquiries with no response
3. Not seeing as much community buzz lately compared to ADGU’s latest model
4. No solo sleeper option
5. No pull-out trays

ADGU Kitchen
Pros:

1. More innovative touches (hinges, hooks, etc.)
2. Slick, modern look
3. Also happy customers from those who have; more folks have on wishlist "if money was no object"
4. Aluminum frame for meaningfully lighter weight (~180 lbs?)
5. Additional features like a pull-out tray
6. Responsive team
7. Solo sleeper option

Cons:

1. Not really a knock, but I see “well built / well designed” more often than “overbuilt
2. Comparable config is a bit more expensive; the cage makes it significantly more so
3. Latest model has only been in market a few years; earlier models had reports of rattle/noise, and there are fewer customer references with latest overall vs trekboxx
4. Marginally smaller drawers
5. Unclear if the Dometic 75 fits as it’s extremely close; can’t find anyone confirming, whereas Trekboxx is a confirmed fit
