Im in total agreeance with the others, Any vehicle can easily tow many times its own weight(towed a fully loaded truck with a gross weight of 9000 kgs(20000lbs) with a non turbo HZJ75.
However that was with a rope on flat ground.

Towing a trailer that is heavier than the the tow vehicle will quickly become a case of "the tail wagging the dog".

Going down hill on a bend you hit a bump,it lifts the rear wheels up and the trailer tries to overtake the truck.
A very daunting experience
