Can this be right ????

[Scarecrow1]

I am looking to pick up a trailer soon so I was in the research stage. Better known as window shopping I have an SUV with a pintle hitch,so I can pull it home . The next point to think about is the weight . So I checked the 3/4 ton M101A1 it's weight is Est 3,160 lbs, ok so I look up the weught on the M105A2 1&1/2 ton its Estimated at 2,750 lbs . Thats twice the haul load as the 3/4 ton but its minus 410 lbs . Can this be right ????

Thats got to be a typo, as there is no way the 101 is heavier than the 105.

It could be a typo , The stats came off the GL site. But all the trailers stated the same est weights minus the 410 gap

I would say the weight is wrong. Which one are you getting 101 or 105? I pulled a 105A2 with my GMC Envoy (6 Cylinder) with no problems. Used magnetic taillights & an adjustable pintal raised as high as it would go. If you have to go far I would pull the cover off, it creates a lot of drag. It was tough for my 6 cylinder to keep it at highway speeds.

Other M101's are listed at 1340#,

Never go by gl descriptions

The trailer TMs have their weights listed in them.

DH! Look in the TM first? If we did that, there would 250,000 fewer posts on this site! You're gonna take all the fun out of things!

You can pull an empty 101 with a small pickup truck.....you can pull an empty 105 with a big pickup truck......neither will have brakes so load accordingly.

1540 for the M101A3 from what I've read.....
