I have had a 1995 2.2 16 valve estate since 2000 Towed a Fleetwood Garland 165/5 1350kg had no problems. Tows like a dream just got back from Brixham towing my new ABI Jubilee Rallyman 1090kg got 22 mpg Towing which is good as I get 23mpg nipping to the shops and around town solo.
A380 telgraph Hill was no problem for it.
I have a tow bracket fitted to the front off side to help me get it up the side of the house when we return, as I have MS it makes it very easy.
The thing like like most about it is the size of the boot it is much larger than most 4x4 and has I also launch a boat I can get all the gear in there same when using the van, awning and all the kit.
