Tow Vehicle

Is it reasonable to attempt to pull a new Bambi 19' 500lbs hitch weight 4,500 lbs loaded with a Pontiac Bonneville with front wheel drive? Would a rear wheel drive such as a Mercury Marquis be decidedly better? I do not want a pickup or a SUV. Thanks for your help.

No problem in terms of stability, but you may find it hard (or impossible) to restart on a steep gradient if the road is wet. I have no experience a Mercury Marquis -but suggest you seek a vehicle with rear-wheel drive , or like the Mercedes GLC coupe series have drive on all four wheels. My wife has a hot AMG 45 version.
