That is up to you. Car trailers hadn't been invented when the M was built, and you are correct when you say it won't fit, unless you reverse one wheel. I don't worry much about stablility, I would if I had to work on any kind of a slope, I don't. As far as car trailers go, your M is too heavy for the "standard" 7000 lb capacity car trailer, particularly if it has wheel weights or loaded tires. Yours doesn't have the weights, meaning with the typical 2000 lb trailer, you are right on the edge with your 4900-5000 lb tractor. You really need a heavier trailer. I know people put M's on 7000 GVW trailers, but they are asking for trouble. If you have a wreck with an overloaded trailer, and kill someone, you will be prosecuted, sued, etc. Just something to keep in mind -- put the wheels wherever you want.
