About the towing differences between Europe and American trucks, it is not about their abilities but about the regulations of their native market.
In Europe, anything over 3.5 tons require a dedicated license.
So manufacturers optimise their vehicle based on this regulation.

Bigger US trucks should compare to actual trucks (wich speed is limited to 70 mph too)
