Ford Fiesta hatchback is 160" overall. I have the 1.0 turbo. It tows 2,000 pounds with ease, due to the amount of low-end torque that tiny motor magically makes:)
Really, if the chassis could handle a heavier hitch, I wouldn't hesitate to tow more. Brakes are more than ample too. Hills around Portland are 10-15% (6.5% on the freeway) and I've also used it to tow all way to he Idaho Panhandle. It does drop fuel economy from the high 40s down to about 30 MPG towing.
