In the US, manufacturers are not required to give all vehicles tow ratings and towing with those without one may cause warranties to be voided. That's why I ended up with a hybrid "SUV" that has nearly the same size as a Prius (1620mmH x 1825mmW x 4460mmL vs 1490mmH x 1760mmW x 4540mmL; it's 130mm taller, 65mm wider, and 90mm shorter giving it a slightly SMALLER footprint than a Prius while being tow-rated).
