We ought to make the information given about all these tow ratings by ShinerBoch a sticky"....It's amazing someone has amassed all this infomation in such clarity and it's 100% factual...Defintiley insider information that everyone should know and realize just how far Ford is ahead of the curve and realize just how high their standards are compared to eveyone else. Just never heard of someone "loweing the bar" to meet a certain criterium...Got to admit, it's a new one on me.

GOT TO MAKE THIS A STICKY: Highly informative and 100% factual....

Sorry, I forgot to answer that portion of your question as to why Ford is posting the numbers of the J2807 instead of their own standards. One word.... marketing. They know Ram( in this case) will post a tow rating going by the lower standard J2807 tow rating which will give them the marketing right to say the stupid "best in class" slogan which due to US advertising laws you cannot say it unless it were true(in some way). So what is Ford to do? Either stick with its standards that give them lower rating that is more reasonable or go by the J2807 which their competitor is using to give them higher numbers for marketing purposes. I think they chose poorly in my opinion by jumping into this "best in class" circle jerk. All it is is a pissing contest set by lower standards just so each can lawfully market that they are "best in class" and their bone headed fanboy followers of each brand can brag about some number even though it is set by a lower standard. Nothing more.

We do get one particular person here that likes to tout the SAE J2807 (and a few followers as well) and I don't think he has a clue to what he's regurgitating.

Seeing as how I NEVER tout the SAEJ2807 numbers, know very little about them, and only reference them when others do...I have no clue who you're referring to, but see you quoted some of "my" post...And as usual, for you, stalking me yet again and going out of your way to post ugly, rude remarks about people you don't even know, insulting their intelligence as though you are some kind of genius yourself.... I guess the only way you can overcome your inadequacies is by posting ugly, rude remarks about others...Something I haven't done to you since I found out you were following me from forum to forum..stalking others and going out of one's way to say rude, ugly things about them is unbecoming no matter how smart you "think" you are....

you need to block more people out to where the only one's you can read are just the one's that agree with you on everything and then you would be in paradise.....

Yep, he made my block list within days of joining...Now if you guys would just stop quoting him!
