For an occasional tow, a small truck with even a small engine is fine.
I pulled my maverick ( a fine beast) 150 miles with a chevy s10 w/ 2.9l
6 cyclinder. The Mav weighs close to 3000ib and the trailer (a rental) was
made for a backhoe I think(!) and weighed a ton too.
It was FUN....especially when you went around a corner and the back end of
the truck started lifting of the ground because the trailer and car wanted
to keep going straight....
