Towing 13' scamp by Lexus NX300h Hybrid

Hi all, I really want to buy a scamp trailer, but my towing vehicle only has the towing capacity of 1500 lbs and tongue weight 150 lbs. The Scamp manufacturer quoted me the Scamp I want to buy is around 1400 lbs. So can my vehicle handle that before I go ahead to purchase. Many thanks in advance.

To keep it that light…

……No options. One fresh water tank, one LP tank, stove / sink, refrigerator, maybe a furnace and no A/C, or gray tank?

Get trailer breaks!  The trailer will easily push the car around without them.  Jackknife.

Scamp quoted you dry weight which will vary with what options are added.

Our 1981 13 weighed approx 1800+ lbs loaded for trip. In addition, I doubt you'll be anywhere near under payload for the vehicle. 

I wouldn't do it.
