i towed a detailing trailor about the same specs as your discribing with a 99 altima (fwd 4 cilinder engine ) for 5 months every day with no problems. I know its a different vehicle but the lay out of the car is basically the same.

try to put most of the weight towards the mid-back of the trailer. The more tounge weight the lower your car is going to sag
