Ben Hur trailer was the nickname of the World War II U.S. Army Trailer, 1-ton payload, 2-wheel, cargo, and the Trailer, 1-ton payload, 2-wheel, water tank, 250 gallon, or G-518 and G-527 — their respective U.S. Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalog designations.[1] Specialized variants were also manufactured.[2][3][4]

The one-ton trailers were designed to be towed by vehicles rated {{frac|3|4}}-ton and upwards, like the Dodge WC series trucks, as well as {{frac|1|1|2}}-ton 4x4 trucks, and {{frac|2|1|2}}-ton 6x6 trucks,[4] such as the Chevrolet G506 and the much used GMC CCKW trucks.
