"My advice, based on experience, is to get a tow vehicle that is built for towing. If it has a tow/haul mode and OEM brake controller, you can probably assume it will tow a 1685 just fine. Vehicles that come to mind are the Tahoe and Expedition SUV's, or a half-ton pickup."
We have a 2010 Sequoia V8 with tow package and brake controller. With those, it's supposedly rated to haul 9600 lbs, although we don't believe that and assume that the 7500 (for that model without the tow package) is closer to the truth. So far, it's worked fine, hauling a 2015 Tracer 230. My husband has occasional pangs about not having gone with a truck, but we prefer the closed vehicle, and the Sequoia has plenty of whatever it takes to get us around.
