Helpful Expert Reply:

You will need the Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch # 15902 for your 2015 Freightliner M2. This will allow you to weld on a receiver with up to 10.865" of drop. For the trailer lighting you will need a combination of the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 and the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 to get to a 7-way blade trailer connector. Do note the wiring to reach the battery is 25' long so if your chassis is longer you will need additional Wire # 10-2-1 to reach the battery. Since your chassis uses air brakes you will want to use the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C to operate the electric trailer brakes on a Big Tex tilt bed trailer.
