They have it listed incorrectly. It's not a 1/2 ton, it's a 1-1/2 ton M105. If you go down the page to the "item manifest," the 2330 NSN number identifies it as an M105A2. Click on the NSN # and you will get a complete, accurate description. It's a BIG trailer, and a HEAVY trailer.

Dang

Well thanks for the info guys. I was hoping that it was some sort of off brand of a M101.

Uuuuggghhh

I'm sorry I do not mean to doubt you guys and I see where it says its a M105 but the main page the weight says its only 800lbs and a length of 8' x 4' x 6'. I don't know if the length it gives on the 2330 is "overall included the drawbar" or just the box. Its says the overall length is 166.5 inches which = 13.9 ft rounded up. But at the same time it says that the INSIDE LENGTH 110.000 INCHES NOMINAL ? Not trying to be mean I'm just confused and I would just hate to see the right trailer pass me buy. Any help is appreciated.

Here is the 2330

Thanks,

Well, . . . I'm not trying to be mean either, but the photographs very clearly show an M105 trailer. The NSN# (National Stock Number) designates exactly what a piece of equipment is. In this case 2330-00-141-8050 is an M105 trailer, and ONLY an M105. The description given on the listing page is erroneous in both size and weight. An M105 is significantly larger than that and weighs almost 3000 pounds empty.

The other glaring clue is that it's described as a 1/2 ton. I am not aware of any such animal in the military inventory. They have 1/4 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton, and 1-1/2 ton. More recently they've even stuck in a 5/4 ton trailer, but I'm not aware of there ever being a 1/2 ton.

If you're looking for an M101, even that's a big trailer. It's a 3/4 ton and probably weighs about 1200 pounds empty. If you're thinking of the small 1/4 ton trailers, you must mean the Canadian M101 which is pretty much a clone of the US M416.

If you were confused before, . . . . . . .

That's just way to heavy to be good for anthing we do. :) I think that they forgot the 1 in front of the 1/2t. So it should have read 1 1/2 t, like Curmudgeon stated.
