Light Japanese Trucks used as Tow Vehicles here
Much to my surprise Japanese Light Trucks are gaining momentum for pulling 26ft+ Travel Trailers

The Fuso, a lowly 161 hp. But, it's meant for efficiency in commercial use, not high performance recreation.
Recreation demands "fun factor". Look at boats - an offshore sports fisher can run 1500 hp, all to catch 3 tunas. A commercial trawler with a 25,000 lbs salmon hold may run a 90hp Perkins.
LOL.... then the bass boat crowd with 300 hp...21' bass boats running 90 mph to catch a 6 lb bass.
Seriously tho LTL size trucking industry in the USA uses the newer gen one ton DRW trucks pulling at 35k-38k GCW and carrying 6500-7000 in the bed payloads.
Moving up to a 450/4500 diesels cab/chassis can give the hauler a 8000-8500 lb on a custom haulers bed payload and 45k+ GCW.
Or a 550/5500 diesels cab/chassis for 50k plus GCW and over 10k on the bed payloads.
No need for a Japans trucks here in the USA to pull a RV trailer or a commercial trailer.
We see very few Japans trucks around here but the few in operation are mostly fleet trucks.
