I towed both a utility trailer regularly and a tent trailer twice with my wife's 04 ZTW auto. Generally speaking it was a good experience ... although much better after we put the SVT brakes on the front. With any kind of additional weight the smallish brakes cook real fast, even driving moderately.
I gotta tell you that with 4 of us, our gear, towing the trailer and a/c on the poor thing was okay on even ground, but going up most hills on the 400 it was basically pedal to the metal.
I heartily recommend a tranny cooler - it made a noticeable difference the following year doing the same thing.
