Not sure what a M104 is
M105 - way to big (heavy) for a cruiser M101 or M101A1 (USA) - close to too big. Better suited to full size truck but should be ok behind a 100. __________________ "Blue" - '96 FZJ80, OME, ARB, SLEE, E-locked, 4:88, 315 BFG AT "nuther" '82 FJ-40, Stockish..for now.

like the one here? Military trailer M104 1 1/2 Ton - Toronto Cars & Vehicles For Sale - Kijiji Toronto
I'm sure a 100 would pull it fine. But it's a big box for camping or recreation, and too gorky for atv's etc. The M101 is useless for atv's too. But is a nice small trailer. __________________ -84 BJ60, Finally on the FN road! -91 FJ80, wife's ride Iron Butt award winner of the Cruise Moab 08 ! |

Yeah, your 100 will pull it, but as others have said it is somewhat big for most needs.

I have a M105 which I just finished modifying. I removed the original wheels, tires and installed a standard trailer axle 5200lb capacity with 4" drop. I installed 6x5.5 hubs and used Toyota wheel studs. I put on 31x10.50 on Toyota wheels and its perfect. The hardest part was modifying the Ubolts. I had to purchase a die set and increase the threaded portion an inch to compensate for the smaller axle diameter. __________________ 1980 HJ-45 Crew Cab 1990 FJ-62 1995 4Runner 2007 FJC 2005 BMW F650GS Dakar 1968 M105 trailer |

$600 is too much for an M104. They can be had cheaper. We have them going begging for $300, because they're so large and heavy that they work best with 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups. The US M101 3/4 ton trailer is much more suitable, but they cost more. $800 for average condition, $1200 for decent with racks.
