How to read 1993 tow ratings

The headline tow rating shown for each vehicle is the manufacturer's published maximum across every trim and hitch class — typically the gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating on heavy-duty pickups and the bumper-pull rating on light-duty trucks and SUVs. The number you can actually tow on the road is constrained by your specific trim, hitch class, rear-axle ratio, and any tow-package option. Always confirm against your vehicle's door-jamb sticker before towing.

1993 ratings predate SAE J2807, the standardised towing-capacity procedure adopted industry-wide from 2015 onward. Pre-2015 figures from different manufacturers may have used different test conditions, so direct cross-make comparisons should be made with that caveat in mind.
