That is common with many models. Trailers, hitches, terrain, towing regulations and speeds, and towing-related vehicle software are all different from North America. Sometimes there are subtle but important differences in the vehicle itself, such as a softer or firmer suspension to suit driver preferences.

Regardless of whether there are any differences of substance, remember that if anything breaks, it will be fixed by a North American dealer, and if anyone gets hurt, it will land in a North American court.

It could be useful information to compare the relative capabilities of two different vehicles, but you're on shaky ground if you use European tow ratings to pick a vehicle for towing in North America.
