Also anyone know off hand the empty weight of this trailer?
TIA

If you want to tow something, you will prefer an A1 truck with a 3126 engine or a C7. That trailer is a 1095 and weighs 9,200lbs empty and can carry a 5ton payload.

Google search is your friend on alot of this stuff. I found those specs by google searching "M1095 weight"

If you have an LMTV, you probably want an M1082 trailer.

Ditto. Even better to pull a 1082 with an A1 truck.

Remember I can drag your A1 truck faster than it can drive !

I don't know man.. with as much drive line and gears you've been chewing up riding an M105A2 down a hill would be faster.

200k + can't ask for much more from an input bearing

Heck it lasted that long with me. That's really saying something about how well it was built!

No not same engine, there are 3 or 4 engines from 225 HP to 290 HP

 

[simp5782]

There are like 8 different power variants. Depending on fuel rate. Everything else is the same

Is that with the better gear ratio or stock truck. Lol

The truck should handle it just fine, my engine is rated at 230 and pulled an equipment trailer and d-3 just fine total weight was over 40 k. The roads were icy so my speed was limited If the roads were dry I don't think I'd have done it at highway speeds but where the road was straight and dip free 45 mph was comfortable.
