Trailer for a M1008

[Jasta]

What trailer would I want to tow behind a M1008? Are the Humvee trailers the better option? I am looking primarily to haul camping gear. Thanks in advance!

M101A1 or M101A2 are the cheapest. The Humvee trailers are still expensive. The M105s are too big

I would shoot for the M101A2. Shares the same wheels/ tires at the M1008 (assuming it's stock). Sits a little lower too. The M101A3 does have 55" between the inner fender wells vs 45" for the M101A2.

If you get a M101A1 or the original M101, the wheels on them are 5-lug Power Wagon wheels, while the M1008 pickup uses 8-lug standard rims. I'm not saying you shouldn't get a M101A1, they are great trailers, just if you end up getting one, you will have to carry a spare tire/wheel for the truck, and a spare tire/wheel for the trailer too.

Find a 101A2, best bet with your truck. Has surge brakes and hand brakes too!

Add a set of GM five spoke rims and it will match your truck perfect!


What part of Ohio are you located?
There is a nice 101A2 listed on pittsburgh craigslist.

Be a while before I can afford to get it. Getting the truck this Saturday!

There are many M101A2 trailers that show up close to you on the GL auctions.

When you have the time and money search there.

Good luck and have fun with the truck.

Another alternative for a camping supply trailer is the pioneer tool trailer. Not great for sleep quarters but it is great for supplys. This one is M116A2 based.
