CT177 plated to 3500kg? No estate car or smaller SUV is going to legally tow that, will need to be a proper 4x4 for the job.
As long as you're within the cars legal limit, the plated weight doesn't matter so much. Some trailers are heavier than others too which soaks up some of your limit, CT177 is fairly heavy at 805kg already.
I bought an A6 Allroad last year with towing in mind. It has about the highest rating of any car I could find at 2500kg. As you say, it's mostly jeeps or a few vans that will see higher ratings. But even a lot of vans are only rated for a couple of ton too.
Most cars around 2000kgs, maybe 2100kgs was their limit
Many will be perfectly fine towing....but to keep within the rules is a different matter, however many interpretations of the rules there are.
