I'd do it in a heartbeat.
My dad and I towed a 7,000 Lb TT for years with a 69 1/2 Chevy. You know, drum brakes, no ABS, old rating of 275 HP; more like 200 HP now days, no lock up T400, light 12 bolt.
Truck had 250 or 275 K on it when I sold it. Original tranny and rear end, rebuilt engine.
I had the correct WD hitch on it and it was set up perfect. I can guarantee the Yoda is light years ahead in every category and the 69 towed just fine. As they say, the devil is in the details. :)
