My daughter is a senior claims agent for a major car rental firm and I asked her about this. She says no major rental company permits this and if you do tow you would be in violation of the contract and if you have an accident then Katy bar the door. You would 100% responsible for all damages.
Strangely, they do rent HD trucks. And why would you need an HD truck except to tow or maybe haul heavy stuff in the bed.
FWIW, I rent vehicles all the time for work. And I'm pretty sure that every major rental company has some sort of stipulation that you can't tow with their vehicles. But I also know that unless you buy the rental car insurance, you are using your own policy anyway. I've always wondered what the real risk is, since my personal policy doesn't care if I tow.
