Military Vehicle Trailers
Standard lunette and pintle hook (right) join an MTVR to a generator trailer.
Nearly all tactical vehicles (wheeled and tracked) are equipped with a standard towing pintle and trailer electrical cable receptacle. Trailers, in turn, are equipped with a standard lunette ring and inter-vehicle cable that mate with the towing vehicle. Although the matched trailer is preferred, almost any trailer within a weight class can be connected and pulled by any towing vehicle due to the standardization of connectors.
