You can get a class 1 hitch for this car, these are rated for towing in other markets such as the UK where they use different engines if not transmissions.

@oldtimer, what I was figuring on was the weight of the bike, the trailer, no doubt a bunch of peripherals to go along with the bike, and weight of the passengers.

I’ve been to the Sturgis, SD motorcycle rally 3 times and have seen people there who have used small cars to lug a bike, trailer, and add-ons across the country. How many made it to Sturgis or back home without a breakdown I do not know.

Back in the early 70s a friend of mine owned a 1958 Bel Air which quit his wife on the way home one night after she got off work. He towed the car 6 blocks home with his Harley so I guess you never know how things will work out.

I have 7x7’ trailer with 2’ wood sides. Car hates towing it empty. Really dislikes it loaded too.a load of leaves to dump is ok. 1 fridge? Not bad
