I hope you do not get offended If I take this opportunity to add to your
statement as follows: (you probably wanted to keep it simple..)

Your car's frame rigidity, axle ratio, cooling capacity, brakes and suspension
may be the limiting factor in being able to tow a P19, not your engine's
horsepower.

A Toyota Camry is rated for 2,000 lbs but none of the GM automobiles is rated
for more than 1,000 lbs. The only Ford automobiles rated for 2,000 lb towing
are the Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car. For more than
that they recommend you use a VAN or TRUCK.

A truck or van remains in our future as trailer towing individuals. {:^(
