Another factor that makes towing ability using weights misleading is they are calculated with a load that has no wind resistance. It’s easier to pull a utility trailer with bags of sand on it than it is a tt with a front wall
I found a website years ago and don’t remember what is was but when I input size and body shape and a speed of 65mph it calculated that an additional 65 hp was required to maintain speed on a flat road with no head wind.
Also, avoid a vehicle with unibody construction.
