OK Buying an M1101 and trying to tow with Toyota Tacoma

[Stoner63]

Do you have to re wire the trailer to 12V or can you just change the bulbs to 12V like 1156? Where can I find a Pentil hook hitch for my Toyota?

Here's a pintil hitch as for a the trailer I think there already 12v they might make a adapter.

Get a cheap set of magnetic trailer lights and tie wrap them on and go.

It's pintle by the way and you can get them at Autozone, Tractor Supply, Northern Tool and Harbor Freight.

Yup, you can just change out the bulbs. Add a MV trailer plug end on your truck readily available from Eric's Military and industrial Surplus. All you need are four wires to the MV plug end. Now if you really want to get wazu buy the Grote LED taillamp assemblies, you then can run the trailer behind any 24V MV or 12V civilian vehicle. That's what I did for my M1102 to include changing out all the clearance lights to LED, don't forget those will also have to have the bulbs changed to 12V if you don't go LED.

1101 trailers are aluminum.

The fact that they are aluminum is why the post stated to tie wrap them on.
