At the I'rally a Sprinter AS B-Van was pulling a cargo trailer. Essentially an external closet for stuff! The impression was that the Sprinter BVan made a good tow vehicle for a load like that except that the mileage dropped to 12-14 mpg or so.
The "bit close" at 500 lb or ten percent under is commendable caution but perhaps over conservative. The issues are handling and hills.
An SOB is probably going to have more of an adverse impact than an A/S because of its shape and handling characteristics.
I wonder if a rental will allow towing. To do it right you will need a good hitch and the proper towing equipment.
