Default Car/Truck to pull glider trailer

I think you'll find the different in ratings is a function of different test requirements in each country. My understanding is that in some countries (can't remember which) it is simply how heavy a trailer you can pull from a stationary start on a specific gradient.

As such it really doesn't tell you much at all about how it tows. Best place for information on this stuff is the caravan sites. It's not like most glider trailers are very heavy.
