Smallest car that can pull 1200 lbs?

The only reason I don’t think the four cylinder Tacoma is a good choice is that Toyota’s web site recommends getting the towing package and the towing package is only available with the V-6.

The trailer the OP will be pulling can be found at http://www.tab-rv.com/index.php

With a trailer this small and light, I think FWD will be fine as long as it has the towing capacity to handle it. If it were a bigger trailer, I would say it needs a weight distribution hitch to be pulled with FWD, but this one has such low tongue weight and is so aerodynamic that FWD will be fine if you don’t exceed the tow vehicle’s capacities for towing and tongue weight.

dagosa, how is a RWD compact truck more economical and safe than a RWD retired police cruiser?
