Upgrade the tires and put in air bags and you're good to go.

I was going to say they have trouble on hills without towing, can't imagine if someone ever tried to tow anything with one.

Hey you can hack into those cars and get like 600hp per wheel or something!!
However that only works for a limited amount of time before your calling the tow truck lol.

I was in the mountains here in NC over the 4th and there was a 31' TT being pulled by, wait for it.... a Ford Ranger! Wow, even my wife said "that can't be, can it?"

I didn't take this, but when I get home I will post more as I took some of this setup.
I saw this at the Costco in Silverdale Washington. I posted it up on the RV.net when I saw about 2 years ago some people thought I made it up until this photo surfaced. 
Story is here.

Wow, says he drove from NY to WA! No way was he getting 40MPG towing that. I get about half my MPG when towing with my truck.
