How to read this comparison
Headline tow rating is the highest figure the manufacturer publishes for any trim of that vehicle, typically on the gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating for heavy-duty pickups and on the bumper-pull rating for light-duty trucks and SUVs. Real-world tow capacity for your specific vehicle is constrained by the lowest of: the rating on your door-jamb sticker, the hitch class installed, the trailer's GVWR, and the manufacturer's tow-package option list.
For the full per-trim breakdown — every cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch-class combination the manufacturer publishes separately — open the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe detail page or the 2024 Ford Expedition detail page. The towing calculator runs the four real-world checks (tow rating, GCWR, payload, tongue weight) on a specific vehicle + trailer combination.
