I suggest ....
Take the footprint of the vehicle you are using to tow (length & weight) and compare it with what you intend to tow
If the tow vehicle is 75% or more of a mass than the towed vehicle you should be fine
Stopping is the challenge
Retrofit the Boles with brakes on both axles if it doesn't have them
Make sure you have a back up battery for the electric brakes
Have a good coupler & safety chains
Don't tow over 55 m.p.h
On your tow vehicle:
Have a solid class 5 hitch bolted to the frame
Use a good weight distribution bar system with trunnion (not spring) bars
I really like the Blue Ox Sway Pro system
