Most body on frame trucks you can bend the frame rails in to make a hitch/tongue.
For an offroad trailer you want something smaller that will follow you around the trails easy.

Here is a trailer a member of another board I am on built and took on a week long trip through the back country of Arizona.


If you have the ability to fabricate, it might be best to build your own. I wish I could.

I saw this picture where some guy cut up a wrangler and used it as his sleeping camper trailer thing. I think it was a wrangler, could have been an xj. Maybe someone knows where this picture is, it's kinda funny.
