When you needed a towing safety margin
The advertisement below explains why so many people learned that you needed a 20%-50% tow rating safety margin.

Today, a good portion of those vehicle would not be rated to tow anything. Those that do have tow ratings it would be for far less than the loads shown. That's despite improvements like antilock disk brakes and better cooling systems.
