Or why not drive a small car equipped with a hitch? When you need to haul stuff, hook up to your trailer and haul stuff.
Oh...because it doesn't look cool.
Many small cars have 1000 lb towing ratings. My Matrix has a 1500 lb rating. For a couple of summers I pulled my 1350 lb tent trailer (5000 lb including car & gear) from BC to Alberta. That's as mountainous as it gets. I would pull 7-8% grades in 2nd at 5000 rpm at 80 km/h. There were some 15 minutes episodes of this sometimes, and she never blew! The best part is, I averaged 24 mpg.
I'm just saying that some small cars are more capable of hauling than you would think.
