One easy way to go is to get a pintle hook ( new about $50     used  
about $25 ) and attach it to your bumper.  This assumes you have a  
bumper.  If you don't , go back to the receiver hitch idea.  I never  
own a vehicle unless it can tow things.  Each to their own way of  
thinking.
Then  you can use a lunette loop to attach the trailer securely.


On my Miata sports car I have a receiver hitch.
On my 40 foot RTD bus I have a pintle hook which has pulled a 27,000  
lb excavator on one occasion. ( very slowly for about four miles)
You just have to get everything set up right and monitor the  
stability of it all.

The most scary thing that ever happened was while I was pulling a 27  
foot travel trailer at 65 mph on a Mexican highway and a big semi- 
truck blew by the other way.  This sucked the trailer sideways and it  
took 1/2 mile to get the trailer to stop whip-lashing.  Mexican  
highways ( at least this one ) have no breakdown lane or shoulders,  
so you have to deal with staying in a narrow lane.  I found out that  
my father had under-inflated the tires on the trailer ( in my  
opinion ) and the tires were just fine ( in his opinion ).  So when  
he drove we let air out of the tires and when I drove we added air.   
Those tires must have felt schizophrenic after a while.
