There's actually no reason you can't tow with a 370. The rule of thumb is that the total mass of the trailer should not exceed 90% of the tow vehicle (some even suggest 100%). That means you can easily tow up to about 1.3 tonnes with a 370. The Qld govt says its legal to tow up to 1.5 times the vehicle weight if the trailer has brakes. I don't think I'd be that brave.
Power and brakes won't be an issue with the 370. Getting the ride height right could be challenge so you might need an elevated tongue and some adjustable shocks for the rear.
Certainly, there's no reason you couldn't tow a light van, a camper box trailer or small boat or jetski.
