You really need to find out your towing capacity not just for enough horse power but for engine and transmission cooling and tongue weight, etc. I'm sure someone here knows your units weight.
I've heard that a good rule of thumb is to tow no more than 75% capacity. I think that works.
Your unit is much lighter than mine I'm sure but I towed my T-1950 with a 4cyl Nissan Pickup 4x4, (155hp) cap 5500# towing about 4800#. I couldn't keep up with highway speeds, it took more than the ramp to get to speed to merge, I slowed to 20mph on long hills and I spent a lot of time at 4500rpm in low gear averaging 8mpg as a result. I get much better milage with my F150 towing the camper now and hardly know it's back there.
You'll need confirmation from others but my guess is that you may be within your capacity. You just need to know the limits and take it easy if you need to.
