Yeah, that won't work. Here's a pic of an M101a2 behind my M38a1 - the M105 is about twice the weight and MUCH bigger - it is pretty big even behind my 4x4 Silverado!
Here's a pic pulling my M100 before the 'a1 was finished - much better (and the Jeep handles it much better too)!
The basic rule is the towed load must be less then the towing vehicle's weight.
M38 = Empty weight 2635 Max towed load 1500
Max Gross weight 3825 Max towed load 2000
M105 = Empty weight 2750
