Yeh that's all well and good in a straight line.. But try and avoid an object on the road, or an accident.. And the weight of the trailer will just take over and flip the tow car, run it off the road etc.
Not to mention that at that kind of maximum weight, the trailer would have to be very carefully loaded and properly secured... Which often they are not.

You just answered your own comment to me when towing a caravan, the ute will be lighter over the rear wheels than a sedan hence it pays to have some weight in the back.

That whole light in the back thing was perhaps more true in the xy days..

Don't agree at all with this quote, I have had early model utes right up to the FG.
