This may be a silly question.... Is it possible to safely tow a light duty 4x7 trailer loaded with a 580lb Honda Rancher on it with a 1.6l Kia Rio LX sedan?

The car itself weighs 2540 pounds, and the gross vehicle weight rating is 36xx pounds. My calculations show the trailrer and ATV weighing in at less than a thousand pounds combined.
 
I would probably play it safe and make sure the trailer has brakes, but I don't see why not. You might have to drop it down to a lower gear going up a grade.
