context_page_description: The Jeep trailer was a small, 1/4-ton payload rated, cargo trailer, designed in World War II, tailored to be towed by 1/4-ton U.S. Army Jeeps. Versions of the quarter-ton jeep trailer remained in military use, by the U.S. or other countries, at least through to the 1990s.
context_section_description: When the U.S. Army developed the World War II jeep, it needed a cargo trailer that would track behind the vehicle. The first trailer was called the "Trailer, 1/4-ton, 2-Wheel, Cargo, Amphibian". Willys built about 60,000. Bantam built 73,689 of these, and possibly more after the war. Later versions of the trailer were the M100 trailer for the Willys M38 jeep and the M416 trailer  for the M151 jeep.
