    Tilt trailers make transporting loose materials even better. Lower bed so loading is much, much easier, too. And these can easily be towed by sedans or vans.

      Definitely, but we all know suburban pickup owners would be hiring someone to deliver the dirt anyway

      I agree about trailers, but one full of sand will weigh too much for most American SUVs/CUVs let alone sedans.

      I’m pretty sure cars and non trucks are vastly underrated for towing in the US though, since the same cars in Europe often have 50%+ towing capacities. The excuse is always that our highway speeds are higher, but I suspect maintaining high truck sales has more to do with it.
