I am the last person to say a fwd is much of a tow vehicle because of the dynamics involved. But to put things in perspective, if you can carry 800 plus pounds of people and gear, the drive train can certainly handle a light, less then 1000lbs, trailer and load. I would go so far as to say that towing a weight, correctly, is easier on the car then carrying the same weight inside.
If you don’t believe me, check vehicles that are tow rated and compare their tow ratings to their capacity rating. Think a three quarter ton truck rated for 10,000 lbs tow coukd take 10,000 lbs in the bed ? Hardly.
