(I like my DUKW....)
I don't have the data in front of me, but I remember my M103 weighing about
a ton.
With a stock M715, it pulled well. My load however was the M103 with another
M103 upside down on it. I also had a load of 2 MEP-017A generators in the
M715. The trip was a story in and of itself. I'll add...a positive one!
On the flats I was able to do 40 mph. (My engine is the stock 230)
Most pickups would make better speed but I sensed that the trailer will wander
above 45 mph. There were 45 mph max labels on my trailers.
I'm in the process of installing an AIR system in my M715. This will allow
me to haul SAFELY any M trailers with air or air over hydraulic brakes.
I'm also looking at a stabilizer for my M103.

I'll make it a point to look the trailer weights...I have the shop
manuals at home.
Hope this helps!
