1/2 ton SAE J2807 tow ratings
Looks like Ford is on board as well as Ram. GM to follow. http://www.autonews.com/article/20140210/RETAIL03/302109959/detroit-3-adopt-common-standard-for-tow-ratings

Don you need to calm down. Look through my posts, I do not bash Rams. I personally think that the company has come a long way recently and makes great trucks. If I were in the market today, I would probably be buying a Ram 3500 with the 6.4 Hemi.
I simply used Ram as an example because they are king of the mountain in terms of max towing from a 1 ton pickup truck. Ford and GM are several tons behind Ram last time I checked.
My point was pretty clear, I thought. A Ford with 11K behind it will most likely stop from the same speed in a shorter distance than a Ram with 30K behind. Both are "legal", but people cry and moan on this forum if someone is "stupid enough" to fully load the F150. If you fully load (or over load) the Ram, its still safe in their eyes. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy.
Hopefully all my comments don't get deleted for a mod for "flaming" because I point out the disparity...
