History

This is actually a rare M416B1 trailer. The M416B1 was the version of the M416 made for the USMC to tow behind the M422 Mighty Mite. Only around 2000 of these trailers were made, making it one of the rarest of the jeep trailers. The M416B1 used the smaller 6.00 X 16 tires on M422 wheels because it was designed to be towed by the USMC M422 'Mighty Mite' instead of the M151 MUTT that towed the M416's and M416A1's. In addition to the smaller tires, the M416B1 also had lifting rings for airborne operations and jerry can mounts on each side.

The M416B1 1/4 ton traier was built exclusively for the USMC by Stevens MFG of Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. It was designed as a light weight yet rugged transport vehicle with a maximum payload of 500 pounds for cross country and 750 poounds for highway travel.
