Many cars are rated for much higher loads in Europe than in the US (for example Audi Allroad at 5500 lbs, E-Class at 4620 lbs or Forester at 4400 lbs), but since burgers
a) put all the weight in front of the trailer axle and onto the hitch, necessitating stronger tow vehicle chassis
b) demand to tow at 80 mph, necessitating stronger engines and longer wheelbases for better stability
c) despite being complete retards about driving, for example towing trailers in excess of 2000 lbs without trailer brakes
such ratings are impossible in the US.

No. You can borrow a trailer or truck or both to haul a car. You could go to u-haul and rent both there and still probably be cheaper than a tow truck. And you don't have to daily a truck.

I rented a Uhaul trailer twice to tow cars home for my friend and I when we had just bought them and they had not been registered or insured / certified for the road yet. Uhaul rents car trailers for about $10 an hour. Really much cheaper than getting a tow truck and you don't have to deal with some prick tow truck driver. Only downside is you have to be good with a trailer.

Well, today I hauled home from work a bunch of 8' rebar and some sand and gravel boulders.
Then when I got home I hooked up a small trailer and picked up my woods mower.
Could I have done this with a car? Sure, just not as easy. I could also use my cell phone to hammer nails, but that doesn't mean it's the best tool for the job now does it?
>>
Really strange that trucks are so popular in US and almost non existing in Europe.

Maybe there's just no logic in using trucks for their intended purpose. Most people in Europe I guess wouldn't want to waste their free time on towing cars, boats and hauling shit around. There are quite affordable (eg. cheaply paid jobs) services that will do that for you.

>multiply two numbers together dweeb
Assuming you fill the tank on a fullsize truck weekly (optimistic as all hell) you're paying 45x52=2340 dollars a year, and that's just gas. This is why yuros have a point when they say buying a truck is stupid. You have to use the truck to capacity on a fairly regular basis to make it cheaper than uhauls or towing. You can get away with owning a truck. That's nice. The man didn't ask if your throat is deep enough to swallow your truck's massive throbbing gas bill. He questioned the purpose of doing so when your truck is only doing its job two or three times a year.

This.

I have an E550 sedan in the US, and I installed the yuro towing package. No reason to get a truck when the car can tow 2100 kg at 62 mph. The only problem are the US spec trailers. They expect a larger tongue weight than the car can take (80 kg) so you have to properly load the trailer.

It's not often we need to move anything bigger than will fit in a car, when we do £20 a day will get you a decent sized van and you need to take a separate driving test to tow a gross train weight over 4250kg unless you passed your test before 1/1/1997 so most people would hire a rigid car transporter to move a car.
