You can tow it with a car
Not all Australian Touring Caravans weigh 8000lb, there are lightweight single axle models, like this 4,200lb , 22ft version that can be easily towed by a car.

A mid sized truck would have a hard time with this. So no a car can not tow these.
You would be in for a shock to the system if you came here or went to Europe. Cars do happily tow these at a 60-70mph cruising speed. In Europe they are generally smaller and have a set speed limit of 60mph on freeways., but you get 24ft one that are toed by Volvo's, Mercedes etc. You maybe right about NA midsize pickups, but cars are towing these and similar lightweight PopTop Caravans the length and breadth of Australia.
This European Caravan is 26ft long and has a max weight of 4,400lb.

I think they must make very powerful cars down under. Either that or the philosophy regarding towing is radically different. I personally would not pull any 4000# trailer with a car. Small popup maybe (been there done that) but did not really like it, even where the popup was under 1500#
It sounds like you would have equally the same problem. I wonder if your pickups have that much use as tow vehicles if they struggle with these lightweight things?
