 Think of it like a car. A car with a tow hitch has the
capability to tow a trailer. A car without one doesn't. Even
if someone never tows a trailer, the car with the hitch
still possesses that extra capability that the other one
lacks. It's not about whether they use it, but whether the inherent functionality is present.

 A tow hitch has the capability to damage greatly another car
when reversing in a parking, and you have to pay expensive
damages. So, it makes parking more difficult and dangerous.

 What's ironic here is that there are essentially no trucks sold
today that actually have a hitch.
 The have a receiver that the buyer can use to ADD the actual
hitch, and those hitches can be of multiple types.
 Just like you can use the USB port of a smartphone for multiple purposes.

 Yes, that's nice. I was rather thinking of normal cars that can
tow a caravan. Normal cars don't come with those receivers. I
don't know if they can be installed.
 

 They can be...
 It very much depends on demand for a particular vehicle and how
heavy a trailer you want to tow.
 To my shock, even my BMW 135i (the one that Arlen insists I don't
have 🙂) has a receiver you can get for it:

Interesting. Maybe modern cars come prepared, just in case.
Here, with the normal B license, we can only tow 750Kg or less. Or, more
weight, as long as the total car + tow don't exceed 3500Kg. To tow more,
we need another license.
