Towing question

Next weekend I am growing the SAAB stable. I'm picking up a 9000T that is in need of some repairs. It cannot get home without a brake job so I need to pull it, about 80 miles.
I have a 2003 Arc wagon, with the v6, and I have a trailer hitch. The hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver and it is rated at 3300 lbs max. I think that's about what a 9000 weighs.
So, my questions: can my car safely pull a 9000, and if so, what equipment do I need to pull this off? More generally, what else do I need to know about towing a car?
Thanks!
--Dan
