The reason for the euro tow rating versus no US rating is:
Euros do the unthinkable, they actually slow down while towing.
They will put a break controller in a car, unthinkable in the US.
Most if not all of them have to have some kind of trailering class before they can tow.
So in the US everything need to be designed for idiots exceeding the speed limit with no trailer brakes while towing.
