Not the reply you want, but.
I have been towing for 40 years.

A few years ago I changed to a Honda Accord. The previous BMW320d was a good towing car.

The rear of the Honda sagged and it was very unstable. I tried altering the nose weight between 60kg & 120Kg. still unstable.

I tried towing the van with a friends similar sized car - Fine
I tried towing his similar sized van with the Honda - still unstable.

In the end I gave up and cut my losses, I wasn't prepared to tow in a combination I was not feeling safe in.

I had to put it down to experience.
