I came upon a USMC Trailer 614M-65 and would like to know more about this cargo trailer. Manufacturer is Stevens MFG Co. Manufactured in 1965. Is this a rare cargo trailer and if anybody would know it's value.
Any knowledge would be much appreciated.

It is a heavy duty military trailer. it was built in 1965.

Yeah, it's an M416 built in 65. Someone must have had a laugh when stamping that model number onto the data plate. I have one. They're not all that rare, but it can be difficult to find them in good condition. They'll go anywhere from $500 to $1500. The value is what somebody wants to pay.

Not sure if rolodex is still on the forum or if he got this trailer, but thought I would add my two cents in case someone else is interested in one of these.

Benefits
- Solid and heavy duty
- Indestructible
- Make great off-road trailers
- Can carry a heavy payload

Drawbacks
- Usually are pretty rusty
- HEAVY!!!!
- Hard to find parts for if repairs are needed
- No very big bed size (but this might be a benefit as well)

I agree with "spotcruiser" above... I have seen them from $500-$1500. I occasionally seen the for $200-$300 as well. I personally wouldn’t pay much more than $500 for one because of the drawbacks listed above.

Just my two cents

Here is a whole thread dedicated to military trailers

What did you put in your military trailer today?

How about some action pictures of what you do with your military trailer. Ours is used for everything from camping and hauling firewood, to hauling the trash and as a BIG wheelbarrow. I think it is probably one of the better purchases I've made and always a conversation starter.
