personally, id go for a 1500 pickup with a v6 and 5 speed. its a truck, everybody has parts, the parts are designed for light towing.

i posted this in another thread but ill repeat here, anything can tow anything but you cant stop 3500-5500lbs safely with a small car. think about that family who just had to slam on the brakes cause a deer ran into the road. can you control and stop your trailer?

plus if you go with chevy,dodge,ford you can play with gear ratios easily and really drop the cruising rpm's for empty return trips
