GREAT !!!!
Finally getting off the 'curb'basis and using more real world (kinda sorta...who
weighs in at 150 lbs? and who has a trailer tongue of 10%)
Guess that 150 lb per person evens out a bit. I'm 180 and GF is 105, but
buddy is 312 and his wife 180
And options !!! guessing that 33% penetration has AC, automatic,
power doors, power seats, power windows and maybe a few more that
33% of the buyers order
• For light-duty full-size pickups (GVWR < 8,500 lbs.), SAE J2807 assumes
that the tow vehicle includes any options with higher than 33 percent
penetration;
• It assumes there is both a driver and passenger in the vehicle, each weighing
150 pounds;
• It assumes that tow vehicles also include up to 70 pounds of aftermarket
hitch equipment (where applicable); and
• For conventional trailer towing, SAE J2807 assumes that 10 percent of the
trailer weight is on the tongue
Keep in mind these only appear affect the 150/1500 range of Pickups.
