I do occasional towing with my 4-cylinder car, and it reduces my mileage from about 30mpg to lower 20’s (around 22mpg but varies by speed etc).
Everybody should get a trailer hitch on their car unless it’s so low that it physically can’t have one. I don’t need a pickup truck anymore since I got a 5x8 light trailer for my car, and it also lets me use a rear cargo rack or bike carrier.
Oh agree completely, there are even places that will hire them to you so you could eveb make use of one infrequently without having to buy and store it. Most (UK) cars can tow an unbraked trailer with a 750kg limit, which is pretty sizable for a lot of household stuff.
I tow a 1400kg caravan (chosen as it’s the lightest in class for its size) so you have to be careful around matching. But towing with an EV is godly as you have instant access to 100% of torque so you don’t ever notice it pulling on the car.
