If you have a good, light weight trailer the answer is yes...
I used my wifes G8 with a 2000 lb tow rating and a class 1 hitch to tow my RGU to and from Sturgis. 2500 miles with no problems.

As long as it is a well distributed load and no more than 200 lbs is on the tongue....to check it just get a bathroom scale with a 4x4 about 12" long and put it on the scale with the tongue of the trailer sitting on on end...

class 1 and class 2
I believe I have a class 2 hitch and I tow my Heritage Classic with it. It tows up to 3500 lbs I think, not for sure about lbs but I have no problem towing the bike and a 600 lb trailor (5X10 utility)

Thanks, My truck is up in age and the wife has a V6 Mustang I am thinking about adding a hidden hitch rated as above when we want to tow the bike which will not be often.
Some people will say "buy a new truck or I would never put a hitch on a Mustang". To that I say thanks but every situation is different and a new truck is not in the picture.

The uhaul motorcycle trailer would work.
If you go to the uhaul website and work it like you were going to rent a trailer you will see what i mean(year, make,model etc).
I wanted a trailer but storage was a big problem for me and i had cars not trucks. I self installed a hitch from etrailer website the first time on a 2003 BMW 325 and the second time on a 2011 Mercedes C300 sport and used a universal electrical isolation set-up...The hitch was only slightly noticeable by most people when the rubber plug was inserted and the wires tied behind bumper cover...I bought a trailer in a bag (storage issues) but i could have used the uhaul motorcycle trailer...
If you have a newer mustang with 200+ HP you will be fine with an open trailer.
A WORD OF WARNING: if you go to etrailer which is excellent and there is any mention of drilling into a steel bumper note, that drilling into a bumper is a pain..drilling almost anywhere else is easy and no big deal but into the steel bumper is difficult...and the curt mfg and drawtite brand hitches are a lot less noticeable than the uhual hitches on most models.
