I am not sure if this has been discussed and I may have missed it. It appears the J2807 is a performance benchmark for a stated trailer weight but does not make any claim that the trailer weight tested WILL be within that vehicles GVWR and axle rating etc.
So is this test supposed to put an end to the whole confusion that many have determining if a specific trailer is really within their trucks capacities?
It's a towing test, but I can bet you that the max trailer listed will be within GVWR and GAWR... at least at the time of testing. Just like ANY max towing rating it's based on an empty truck with just a driver.
The point is to put a standard to the rating, and that has been done with speeds, acceleration, and weight.
