According to the article Ram is the only truck maker using the SAE towing standard in the 2500/250 &up line of trucks. But then you would have had to read the article to know that.
Like I said before, I would not put too much faith in what Allpar says since they are known to post false information in order to make anything Mopar look good. The statement that only Ram has J2807 rated 250/2500 trucks is false. Both Chevy and GMC 2015 2500 and up trucks are J2807 rated along with their 1500s. Ford's F150s are J2807 and their new F250/350 will be just as they said back in 2011.
Also, I would not put too much faith in the J2807 standards either. After all, the 2.7L Ecoboost is rated to tow less than the Ecodiesel yet the 2.7L EB will out tow the Ecodiesel in acceleration and stopping which is what the J2807 tests. Just because the J2807 says a truck can tow X amount does not mean they have to market that it does, and a truck make can actually rate it to tow less than what the J2807 standard rates it at. They just cannot exceed what the J2807 standards says it can tow.
