SAE Tow Ratings – Tow Ratings Finally Pass the Sniff Test

SAE Tow Ratings - Tow Ratings Finally Pass the Sniff Test
Tow Ratings Finally Pass the Sniff Test - The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) - Automobile Magazine
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has at long last leveled the playing field for trailer tow ratings.

Preposterous as it may seem, until recently there was no legitimate means of comparing the trailer-tow rating advertised by one truck manufacturer with claims issued by competitors. That created a game of leap-frog. With the introduction of every new large truck, the proud manufacturer would announce some new high in the number of pounds that could be hauled or towed. That would prompt one or more competitors to pause for a few months before announcing revised tow ratings for their products which would of course return their progeny to the top of the towing heap.
