Not true. Some (mostly older, especially late 90s and early 00s Honda) vehicles have frontal area limits specified, but these days most either don't specify it at all, specify it as a value that's typical of a lightweight TT, or state it as a recommendation rather than a limitation. As always, check your owner's manual.
My minivan tows my trailer, and towed the one before it, quite nicely.
