European towing standards are ridiculous, manufacturers decide what their car can tow. It’s one of the only places where the American standard, which requires testing the vehicles and passing actual tests, is much better and safer.
Trailer design is also different with European trailers having their wheels further forward, putting less weight on the hitch, this in turn makes the assembly less stable which is why the speed limit when towing will often be lower.

Speed limits are the same, towing or not in North America.
