An M will weigh at least 5000 lbs, requiring a trailer with a GVW that allows 5000 lbs plus the weight of the trailer, probably at least 2500 lbs, more like 3000. That's 7500-8000 lbs. That much weight requires at least a 4.10 rear axle. You should be able to find the towing capacity of your Bronco, if it meets the 7500-8000 lb specs, which also include all passengers and cargo, in addition to what you are pulling you are legal. That is, you subtract the weight of the passengers and cargo from the listed towing capacity, that tells you how much you can tow. That does not mean it will pull it very well. At best you are probably marginal, likely you are overweight.
