Towing ratings are given in lbs but you have to remember that is a "full system" number which includes the load on the hitch, the tongue weight, and (the usual limiting factor) the ability for the vehicle to reasonably accelerate and stop the entire mass in a reasonable time and distance.
I estimated the required power and the equivalent "trailer weight" of towing a tesla model s under full regen elsewhere in this thread; it's roughly equivalent to towing a trailer of approximately 2000-2500lbs, depending on speed. A vehicle with a similar tow rating and a minimum 250hp engine should do the job.
