I'm selling my matte camo painted 3/4 ton M101A3 cargo trailer. It's adapted to 12v, and uses a standard pintle hitch. Hitch is included, as is the farm jack, and yellow hitch lock in the pics. Obviously the trailer is included too (this isn't one of those ebay selling-the-empty-playstation-box things).
Asking price: $1400
Fully road-legal!
*High clearance! Great for offroad*
*Decommissioned military equipment: made to last, and handle harsh conditions without failing! Tough and well designed!*

I bought it last year, and it has served me very well moving material up to my property in the mountains, hauling firewood, and hauling water. I now have a 5-ton flatbed 6x6, so I don't need a trailer any longer, and would like to see someone else making use of it rather than just having it sit in my yard.
This would be a great base for an expedition build, or just to use as-is!
It's in fully working condition, and I have my MT title in hand, notarized.
Overview:
Included (as pictured):
Not included:
It's wired for a standard 6-pin round farm trailer plug (12v), and I have an adapter I'll throw in for 7-blade style. I've mounted a farm jack on the side which I use to hitch and unhitch, which is also included.
The trailer itself has a kickstand built in for parking, along with manual parking brake levers. While hitched and driving, it uses surge brakes, meaning there's no hookup necessary - no air or electric to deal with to make them work, it's built into the chassis and works automatically.
The trailer tracks great, turns great, and the suspension works great. I've never had any trouble with it on the highway or on our primitive mountain roads.
The tires hold air just fine, but have checking on the tread from sun exposure. I've been using them without trouble.
Cargo racks are fine, tailgate is fine, and I've added some removable tie-down eyes in the bed (they just screw out of their well-anchored sockets). They've worked great for anchoring a water transfer tank.
Normal amounts of wear and tear for an old Army trailer: this machine has seen some use, but not abuse. Mechanically in good shape.
Trailer hitch (technically for the "lunette": the ring portion) padlock included. It's the yellow thing in the pics.
I'll accept cash, venmo, or cash app.
If you have a different option in mind, we can discuss, but those are easiest for me.
I'm in the Dearborn, south of Cascade, MT. That's about halfway between Great Falls and Helena. You're welcome to come up here and check it out in person if you want an adventure, or if you're confident it's what you want, I'll tow it down off the mountain and meet nearby.
I'd be happy to bring it as far as Great Falls to transfer it to you.

Overview:
- 1981 Turtle Mountain Military M101A3 3/4 Ton Trailer, matte camo painted
- Wired for standard 12v, 6-pin connector
- Tires hold air and drive fine
- Surge brakes are built in
- MT title in-hand
- No clue about mileage, it doesn't have an odometer. Probably a lot, but it's very road and offroad-worthy
- Good condition: it's got some minor wear and tear like you'd expect from a 42 year old cargo trailer. No bad rust or anything, just some scratches and minor dents/dings. Stored under shelter all winter.
Included (as pictured):
- Pintle/ball combo hitch for 2" receiver (bring your own hitch pin, please!)
- Farm jack (hi-lift style) with mount and padlock
- Hitch/lunette security lock
- Cargo racks
- In-bed removable anchor eye bolts
Not included:
- Water tanks, tools, etc. And no, you don't get my Landcruiser, either.
