Pickup bed sizes are egregiously small nowadays. Trailers are amazing if you have storage space for them. However, most non-pickups (SUV’s etc) max out at towing 1,500 lbs and most sedans rather less. I know europeans get away with much higher towing ratings on their sedans than American equivalents. I never could figure out if this was conspiracy in underrating American sedans to force sales of pickups, slight engineering upgrades specific to EU markets, or the fact that you just drive slower in Europe so there’s less stress on components allowing greater trailer weight.
