It really doesn't matter if one tows with a compact car or a diesel pick-up, they all have manuals that tell us how much we can tow safely(considering, the brakes, trans, radiator, motor, etc) and it is best to go by those recommendations. Some real small cars specify no towing at all and some cars state 1000 or 1500 lbs. Any tow vehicle can be overloaded. Many do and get by with it OK but stopping ability can be an issue. You can argue that some companies may be conservative with tow rating, some less so but I would still pay attention. Years ago we towed small pop-ups all over the country with compact 4 cylinders but I don't think I would today. It took too long to stop and tough to start on a steep hill with the manual trans.
