Yup...you see things like this while driving every summer day in Europe.
I have a U-Haul trailer hitch on my '02 Golf TDi, and routinely haul 1000+ lbs. I only use the Ford when I need to pull my 24' Pace (weighs 5500 lbs itself). Do yourself a favor and buy a used TDi, then install a hitch and be happy.
