I have seen a lot of m416 on here but dont remember seeing one of these M101's. The reason I ask is there are a bunch up for auction in GA right now from the GOV. Thanks!

Howdy - I'm towing the M101A2, works very well. Empty weight is 1360 lbs, suggested max load is 2860 lbs. Believe the 4-door tow capacity is 3500 lbs, so well within safety limits.
I'm running 35" with 4.10's and a 6 speed. Have to do alot of down shifting on steep inclines, but generally tows very well. Once I regear to 4.88's should be much better.
I think many people are thinking of the M105 1.5 ton trailers as being too heavy - which I agree with.
Have a picture below for a visual reference.
