Montana Code Annotated 61-1-101 (82) (a)and (b):
""Trailer" means a vehicle, with or without motive power, other than a pole trailer, designed for carrying property and for being drawn by a motor vehicle and constructed so that no part of its weight rests upon the towing vehicle.
(b) The term does not include a mobile home or a manufactured home, as defined in 15-1-101.
A passenger car or pickup is not designed to carry property (it is designed to carry PEOPLE), and is not designed to be towed by a motor vehicle (it has to be modified for that purpose). It is not a trailer in Montana.
Neither is a pole trailer or a mobile home or a manufactured home!
