Sure, towing has some impact on the driving dynamics that should not be neglected. Anyway, even though an American would be more likely to tow with a beefier vehicle such as a truck or body-on-frame SUV which usually has brakes better dimensioned for such use, in most of other countries you can see regular econoboxes towing sometimes in excess of their GVWR
