Any modern car can haul some trailer, but plenty of ‘cars’ shouldn’t be used to haul plenty of trailers. Just because a vehicle can pull a trailer forwards doesn’t mean it can do
so safely. Brakes, suspension, or frame a
Stiffness may be inadequate. Please stay within your vehicles tow rating!
This video is obviously a joke (they aren't pulling it on a public road and they do it at a walking speed). It wouldn't be legal here :)
But this exact 23 HP 650 kg car can legally pull 400 kg trailer (as long as it has breaks - 300 kg without). And I've seen it done on public roads in 90s. Maybe it wasn't full capacity so let's say 200 kg but still. That's already more than you can fit in most SUVs.
A modern 100 HP 1500 kg sedan can pull more than most people will ever need. And they do - outside US. Somehow in US you need a 2500 kg truck to do the same. I just don't understand.
No, but I do need to put 3 kids into car seats and carry a lot of stuff at the same time. I don't have many great options. I sincerely don't understand what people with 4 or more children do in these situations, work vans? I'd love to get an 80s station wagon, honestly, but those don't exist.
This car has 23 HP and weights 650 kg. It's a little extreme, but any modern car can haul a trailer no problem. You don't need an SUV.
