Best car for towing pop-up
Welcome to the forum and congrat's on yer new camper.
Whatever you end up buying as your tow vehicle, buy one that is rated for and capable of towing your campers gross vehicle weight rating as stated by the manufacturer. That is, what your camper's max rated allowable weight when loaded. There is a sticker somewhere on your camper that will give you this information about your camper. My rule of thumb has alway's been to tow our camper's with a tow vehicle rated to tow 20% more than our camper's GVWR. For example: Your new trailer may weigh 1500lbs empty on the scale, but it's GVWR may be 2000 lbs. You would look for a tow vehicle capable of towing 2400 lbs or 20% over your camper's GVWR of 2000 lbs. I like overkill and your tow vehicle will love you for it. Good luck.
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!
