Trucks are not stupid, they can tow. I don't want to be a european pod dweller, I want to have an RV, a boat and get the most of my life.

You do know that Europeans also have a ton of trailers, RVs and boats? Maybe ask yourself how we managed to do it?

Parts of Europe actually have more reasonable towing regulation, for example, in Europe, my VW GTI can legally tow a thousand pounds or so, but does not have a recognized towing capability in the US system.

Do you have any data to support your claims?
I couldn't own a basic car, let alone an RV, when I was living in Stockholm. I was trying to figure out if I could buy a large enough trailer for my bicycle to transport my inflatible boat somewhere (and there are basically no public boat launches!), I couldn't dream of RV, it seems those things are only for very wealthy people in Europe.
Now I own a normal 18 foot boat with a trailer and an RV camper even though I work in the same field. My life quality significantly improved since I moved to the U.S and I will never look back.
