MINIs are rated in Europe to tow 1440 pounds...why are they so shy about that here, are we Americans less than capable when towing popups and teardrops?

I would definitely spend $$ on a MINI popup* similar to the Jeep popup sold at dealerships now:



C'mon MINI, trust us, we can tow as well as any European MINI driver.

*with heat and a/c please

 

There was a MINI airstream concept. http://www.worldcarfans.com/10904221...study-revealed

I know plenty of people tow without problems. Check out http://www.minifini.com/ http://www.minidomore.com/ http://www.minitears.com/

 

Thanks amberback - I realize many tow ultralight trailers without issue, however I'd like MINI (or someone) to consider making a MINI popup like JEEP did...while I love the look of teardrops I'd like to stand up inside and want more amenities than the SylvanSport GO for extended trips. I also love the storage room on top of the JEEP popup.

Wouldn't a popup that looks like a MINI be great? MINI seems reluctant to do anything with towing and MINI in the US, though, and I'm not sure why.

 

Look at these:

That is a great start for a Barbie popup! Buckaroo and TowMini need to get together.
