Towing a trailer is a skill. Driving a vehicle that is larger than average is a skill.
I agree that there needs to be specific driver training; you should need to do some advanced testing to be entitled to tow a trailer or drive a larger vehicle.
Standard licences will need to be restricted to a certain GVM and a certain GCM. The problem is that the Caravan Industry and the Grey Nomads with dementia would get upset.
