Back in the day, before pickups were the norm, many a family car pulled camper trailers. What does your trailer weigh and do you have a hitch on the VC?

No hitch on the VC I think the trailer weighs 4,000lb. I've had no problem towing it with a Dodge Ram truck 1/4 ton

I'm pretty sure that Dodge never made a "1/4 ton" Ram pickup.

From the 1971 Salesman's Specs booklet:
