Once at work I said "My Audi sedan has a towing capacity of over 5,000 lbs, isn't that crazy?" A coworker said "That's almost as much as my Tacoma!" (Early 2000s model). Turns out 5,000 is closer to his combined vehicle weight + towing capacity.

I remember my grandfather using the Grand Prix to tow and pull out stumps and stuff instead of the work truck.

The old Passat 4motion v6 diesels, B5.5 for those who want to know, were in fact bought by people who wanted to tow, because it had something insane like 3.5 tonnes of rated towing capacity. The 6mt ones anyway.
