    Yes, a tiny 15 HP tractor from the 1950’s can tow a big trailer around a farm no problem. What it can’t do is tow it at much more than 2 mph. Owners of these trucks can tow a 20 foot boat down the freeway at 80 mph. Now whether or not they use them for loads like that (they rarely do) is another issue.

      They aren’t talking about tractors. Ute is what Australians and New Zealanders call pickups.

      So smaller pickups can do much of the same as the large.

        LOL. Have you ever tried to haul 6000 lb of manure in a 4 cylinder Toyota tacoma?
