As for pulling power my dad has an 90 I think Chevy with a 305 engine and he goes all over up to about a 2 hour drive pulling his M to tractor pulls and it has no lack of power. My old 1980 chevy with the 305 will also pull the load with no problem. With the M it weighs about 7500 pounds and trailer is 2000 pounds. With a good tuned up truck I can't see needing anything bigger then a half ton truck. Now this tractor does put a good balaced weight on the tounge and back of the truck. I think this is the important part. if not a balanced load a trailer will swing bad. Also should have good trailer brakes pulling anything over 5000 pounds and even if pulling less then 5000 with a half ton I really want trailer brakes.
