How far are you towing? Across town or interstate? I once pulled a dead 1951 Ford pickup with a canopy stuffed with junk, on a rope, from a dead stop, up and over a freeway overpass and across town. The only problem I had was at a traffic light where I found myself next to a hot Mustang coupe. I forgot I had the pickup behind me and snapped the rope. In a 1961 VW panel van.

They go for $12-15K and up restored. With a 1-ton rear axle they can carry their own weight. Your wife would love you for it.
