Observe how tow trucks are build. Their rear tires almost are touching the bumper and they tow without WD having tons on the hook.
Correct. However you are not going to see a fundamental change in how vehicles are designed any time soon.
Plus what's good for towing is not good for hauling. With the axle at the extreme rear of the vehicle, any weight you put in the bed is going to end up 1/3 to 1/2 on the front axle of the truck. It won't take much to overload the front axle. Not to mention the abysmal turning radius, undesirable for what is normally a daily driver.
