Default Towing vehicle

The towing recommendations of different brands cannot be compared because there is no cross manufacturer accepted SAE performance standard for towing. I believe that towing recommendations are largely influenced by marketing.

Not so in Germany. There is a standardized method of determining the towing capacity for all manufacturers to get their vehicles certified. Braking power is one criteria but getting a load started on an incline is another one.
