I towed my '79 Starcraft PU with an '87 Mazda pickup for a good number of years. I had a canopy on that truck and we were usually filled up pretty good and had two daughters in the jump seats in the cab.
We didn't have any trouble. Drove all the way to Banff and then to Yellowstone and lots of places in between. We kept up with traffic and I don't remember ever holding traffic back to any extent. I did NOT like coming down the big hills though, almost no engine braking.
We ended up selling the Mazda because the girls were getting big and they needed more space. Yes, you can do it. A larger engine would be nice but you can pull a small PU with a 4 cylinder.
Thank you
