WHOA WHOA WHOAAh, cool, another Europe vs America debate with only European replies giving their opinions for both.
I am an American living in Europe, and therefore my opinion is the correct one.

lol, yeah, I thought about that after.At least do it right...
I've trailered things like a Golf, a Neon and an Audi behind the XC70, and while it did feel like "wow, this is a lot of load to have behind a car", I wouldn't say it struggled. You just have to keep your wits about you.
Also, just availability? I'm sure more people would use bigger vehicles/engines for towing over here as well, if they were more readily available. But since it's rather costly in many ways it isn't seen as a necessity.Penis.
I've towed with a varied amount of trucks and unless you are towing a 40 foot enclosed trailer with two race cars, you don't need that Mega Ram Cummins. A decent half ton truck will do.

This depends on the state, in my state you can tow at 80 mph - and people do, while climbing over the Rocky Mountains.Yup, it's not that you can't tow with a smaller vehicle, if you can get the bigger vehicle, why the fuck not? Also, shiny new toy, pretty, must show off to people.
Technically road rules say 55-65mph is the limit when you're towing, do people follow that? No, and do they get caught? Not enough to get them to learn to take care of their loads. giggity

There's definitely plenty of Americans who use nowhere near the capabilities of their tow rigs though. Hence the popularity of bro dozers with 6 inch lifts and two foot drops for the hitch so they can tow their 20' ski boat three times a year.
Ah, the Dick Hitch is loved by many!That's equivalent to the "I must have a towbar because once I year I may need to carry my bicycle somewhere" that I see here. Almost everyone has one, nearly nobody uses them.
I just hate looking at towbars of other cars, it annoys me. Also because most people use them as bump stops when parking....
I would get one of those foldaway ones that you can't see unless they're being used....
Heh, I thought about that when I was ordering the Tesla, but I don't ride my bike enough and also think that they're ugly. Fold away ones are great but are just another thing to break.That's equivalent to the "I must have a towbar because once I year I may need to carry my bicycle somewhere" that I see here.
