I would not try it. I have towed an M37 with a 1/2 ton truck. When you turn
a corner the M37 would tend to push you in a straight line, making it very
difficult to make the turn the way you intended to. Also stopping takes
considerable effort.

I also know someone who towed a DUKW with an M37 and actually backed up
with it to park it along side his barn. He ended up bending the tow bar but
he did do it. He also said that he would never try that again.
