Anything in the owner's manual about towing?

At least you have fuel injection.  I had a heck of a time pulling a heavy
trailer up mountains against a strong wind with a carbureted engine...

4 cylinder - no way. 6 cylinder (if that exists in that kind of car) - it
will still be dicey because the car's suspension's not made for towing
something like that trailer. And, it's not just an issue of the back end
sagging. Rather, you'll find the trailer is controlling the car at times,
making it shimmy from side to side, as if a huge hand had grabbed the back
bumper and shoved the car from side to side. It's "interesting" to haul a
trailer under those conditions. Interesting, as in having an arrow through
your head.

Not knowing a lot of specifics about that vehicle, you may want to
check the owners manual to see if towing a light trailer is discussed,
which I suspect is at least a possibility.  A lot will depend on the
condition of the vehicle, how heavily it is loaded and how heavy the
trailer is, and to some degree how well the weight is distributed in
the trailer.  I once towed a similar trailer heavily loaded with
tools, books, etc. with an 87 Camry automatic (2800 lb 4-cylinder)
from Ohio to Florida, and did OK, although I had to take it easy in
the mountains of Tennessee.  You will hit some big mountains in the
Rockies and at other spots.  Should be fun!
