Got my LMTV trailer home today. Only mishap was starting out, I left the parking brakes on the M1008 and couldn't figure out that the trailer brakes were in fact released/caged. After pulling loose from the trailer and still dragging, it hit me.
I plan on pulling it with the SEMTT. Would love to figure out a way to have a dump bed with it.
Before I get chastised, the towing capacity is a mixed bag for the cucv. This trailer weighs about 7k lbs. Yes, the brakes were caged. Yes, I was relying on the trucks breaking abilities. Yes, it's not optimal and has risks. But I allowed a WIDE gap ahead of me and kept it under 60. Also, most of the journey was gradual hill climbs and almost all 4 lanes. The truck did fine, of course this is subjective to a number of things.
