Actually it's the first of the big three to use the SAE j2807 tow rating spec. Which is longer blah blah blah. But a specific set of guidelines to determine the tow rating. Now it may be to high for some, particularly those who expect an empty feeling when towing, but at least it's standard.
What difference does it make what Tow Rating spec is used. Anyone pulling a fiver with a SRW truck will most likely run out of truck payload capacity LONG before they reach the max tow rating regardless of the way it is calculated.
So (for fivers) it is still "blah blah blah" and is essentially a meaningless and misleading number.
Now if you are talking TTs or boat trailers, then it becomes more significant.
