M105A2 on highway payload

[odnorth]

The tag says 3000 payload, but l'm thinking that's off-road, so 6000 for on-road. Am l right or wrong.

Kinda depends on what the cargo is and how it's loaded and what your towing with.

And brakes functioning.

I lost my TMs, but I'd bet there s more info on capacity in them.

I think that's right..."off-road" limit being defined as the tire/tires on one side (of the axle) off the ground.

FWIW -- The M105 trailer hauls just over 4000lbs of corn (full) at high speed, behind a deuce. But never pull it tongue-light behind a pickup.

l want to put my 2015 Wrangler 2dr in the 105 and tow it with my 923A2. The wheelbase is 8ft so it just fits, it will tie down from the front tow hooks to the tie downs on the front of the trailer.The rear trailer tie downs will line up with the rearend.

I wouldn't.

How far you going?

I think your center of gravity would be too high for my comfort.

 

[Gunzy]

3000lbs on or off highway is the spec'd limit. If you want to haul your Jeep get an M1061 to do it with.

Install longer wheel studs and add duals...or flip the wheels...technically, its a simple trigonometric equation, by knowing specified cg mass & location, you can calculate how much to compensate for elevated cg, by widening the wheel stance.

 

[doghead]

That will not change your COG.

Install longer wheel studs and add duals.

No longer wheel studs needed. Works fine as is but width goes to 8' 7 1/2" with 9.00 ndcc tires. It sure helps with stability.

I'd put the jeep in the M923.

A flat tire on the 105 with the jeep in it wouldn't end well.

 

[MAdams]

My only worry would be the tires. The COG being so high, the trailer will want to sway and that will add stress to the tires. I've had 4500 lbs of gravel in mine and it pulled fine behind my pickup truck. A tire blowout would end your fun day
