Any EU resident must be smiling a bit at this whole thread.
Visit anywhere in the EU during the summer, especially in August, and you'll see small passenger cars towing large travel trailers everywhere.
Of course, the tow vehicles are typically sticks and the drivers have some clue as to what they're doing.
Doesn't always take a big hammer to solve a problem.
I hear you, but unless I missed it somewhere in this thread, we don't know what the OP intends to tow and where he's towing it. I know you're not getting out of some of the boat ramps in my area with a car, CUV or light SUV in some instances. I also know folks with various sized travel trailers that take them to some remote locations where it's not happening with a small hammer. Lots of factors at play. At the end of the day, like you say, easy highway and some sensibility will go a long way.
