Hiring a car for specific trips is probably much better, depending on the % of those use cases. That goes for other factors like towing capacity too.

Cars are already very expensive for something with such a low utilisation rate.

Towing actually seems in practice an awful place for renting. Use case is taking kids trailer camping: UHaul at least offers only trucks with (a) single row seating, and (b) no brake controller. Even if spouse did drive, the lack of the brake controller is a showstopper.

If someone knows where I can rent a crewcab with RV brake controllers, I'm all ears. I'd love to not have to own a tow vehicle.
