Difference between M101's and M105's?

[Strategic Tactical]

ok, Newby here. What is the difference between the two trailers? I'm just guessing that the difference is weight that can be loaded in it? I'm looking for one to pull behind my M35A2 and want the correct one.

For the deuce you want the M105.

Than go with the M105..

Unless I am wrong, that should be the correct trailer for it.

I have seen quite a few M105's behind M35A2's.

Just my

As stated above, the 105 is the proper trailer for the M35. It has an empty weight of 2700 pounds, has the same rims and tires as the M35 and has air brakes that hook up to the M35. They are great behind a M35 and honestly, too big for even a modern 1 ton civilian truck.

The M101 has an empty weight of 1270 I think, has either M37 or CUCV rims/tires depending on the year and has either no brakes or surge brakes. Again, depending on the year. They will fit behind a M35, but you can't see it, ever in the mirrors. They are perfect behind a modern full size SUV or pick up though.
