How to read 2017 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.
2017 ratings are tested under SAE J2807, the standardised towing-capacity procedure adopted industry-wide from 2015 onward. That means cross-make comparisons are apples-to-apples — a 10,000 lb rating from one manufacturer is testable against the same number from another.
