In full agreement with Rob that the trailer issued for the Iltis is a much better design than almost any other recent CF trailer.

I would add that the issue Iltis tire, which would have been used on the appropriate trailer, is quite narrow. Stuart and I corresponded a while ago, and settled on a modern Wrangler all-season tire that is a reasonably close facsimile.

Having driven long distances in M38A1s (when I wore smaller diameter clothing), I would suggest repacking the seat cushion would be a high priority before undertaking any long road moves. The seat is not adjustable, as issued. The steering wheel is fixed, as are the pedals. So any ergonomic comforts have to be within the spirit of the rules, or you'll be crippled by Day 3. Since most drivers raised after WW2 are taller and I have to hunch somewhat to see under the top bar of most 1/4 Truck windshields, so thinning the cushion would be something else to consider.
