Default Truck vs Car as a tow vehicle

Freshly plowed fields, especially hilly ones, might be difficult for a
lot of AWD cars. I've landed in some of those. We, my partner and I,
once had a rancher use his tractor with front end loader to pull our
glider out of his field. He also took down a fence to get the job done.

Part of me thinks that a truck would be much better, the other parts thinks that most fields that are safely landable by a glider would be able to be traversed by most cars, especially AWD cars.
