It would be similar to me when towing my 20ft trailer with my Jeep Cherokee.
Jeep is 3000+ and towing a trailer that is 4000+ lbs. Power is not the issue, handling is. The wind from passing semi's tends to push it around a bit.
Sorry, not a good comparison.
Many of us tow with cars like, or similar to the Jetta because of the outstanding handling, comfort, and stability. The Jeep Chero is at the other end of the equation.
The towing Guru here in Ontario has driven every combination you can imagine reported the best handling vehicle he has ever towed with is his Jaguar sedan.
