I would think a 1200lb trailer would be no problem for either a 122 wagon or your 544... Only advantage to the wagon is the lower rear end gearing, but either should be fine.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a pair of IPDs overload springs in back, but not necessary. I did recently put a set in mine, and the car still sits level, and not much compromise in ride quality.

And DEFINITELY have a good solid frame mounted hitch installed.The bumpers simply ain't on there good enough...

The stock B18 will be up to the task, though probably a bit tedious...especially on hills. But I've probably rope-towed cars probably a cumulative 1000 miles in a 122 wagon... never had a problem.

Happy motoring!
