If you are going to tow more weight then the weight of the vehicle then a regular hitch behind the bumper is not going to cut it, you are going to need a goose neck that pivots above the rear axle at the very least, that way the trailer isn't controlling the vehicle, you also of course are going to need better breaks and breaks on the trailer.
Not going for the same total weight, but I have dreams of building a trailer to tow behind a bicycle or small car that can haul 1,000 pounds by having it have it's own power source and brakes as well, running in to some of the same issues.
I used to tow a trailer with my first civic vx and had good luck with it, I also put a nice dent in the side of it when I hit a patch of ice and the trailer swung around, traction and power to go was not as much of an issue as stopping was.
