It is prohibited in many other countries, where doing so can result in a fine; that is why many European cars are equipped with a retractable or stowable tow bar.

It’s pretty easy to remove these adapters.

Pull the cotter, pull the pin, put it all in the back seat of the truck. Done

But then you can’t be ready to tow a trailer in an emergency when seconds matter! Also people won’t know that you tow your boat on the weekends.

30 seconds to attach, but a full hour to find the pin you need to attach it if you're a messy redneck who just chucks shit into the toolbox that's bigger than you need but always full because every random tool and strap you've ever glanced at has been stuffed in there

If a friend of mine were still alive to read this, he'd laugh at the truth of that statement, for that described him to a T. Everytime he went digging through his tool boxes he'd grumble he's gonna clean it out and get rid of everything except just what he needs, only to catch him later adding more crap to it.
