To haul an M, you need a minimum of a 10,000 lb gross weight trailer. The M itself weighs around 6,000 even if the tires do not have fluid. So 6 to 7 thousand lbs for the M and 3 to 4000 for the trailer. Most trailers of that capacity you will not have a problem with the length. It will easily fit on a 16 ft long trailer. The problem is the width. Low boy trailers where the tractor has to fit between the fenders or wheels will not work if you have the wheels turned out. You have to have an over the wheels trailer. My MD is a little over 85 inches out to out of the tires with the wheels turned out and set in as far as possible on the axles. It has 11 inch rims and 13.6 tires. If you have smaller tires, you might get by with a 7 ft wide trailer, but barely. But the Ms usually have the 13.6 tires as a minimum. Also, do not try to pull the M on a trailer for any significant distance with a 1/2 ton pickup. You will be sorry. You need at least a 3/4 ton with a good strong engine. A trailer with brakes is also a must.
