Your setup will haul an M with no difficulty. I haul my Super M (5,700 lb) on a 10K GVW bumper pull deckover trailer with a '99 F250 diesel. The outfit accelerates, drives and - most importantly - stops just fine.

A couple tips to add to Don's good advice below:

1 - In addition to a chain on each corner I run a 10,000 lb rachet strap across the tractor just behind the clutch and hook to both sides of the trailer. That really "locks down" the tractor to the trailer.

2 - Adjust the brake controller per the mfr's instructions once you have the tractor loaded and tied down. Test the brakes a couple times before heading into traffic.

Happy trailering!
