[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1552556, member: 35543"] That was well before SAE J2807 became the standard; back then each manufacturer determined max tow ratings differently. To your point, a RAM HD with a 5.9 Cummins and full floating 8 lug axles seems grossly underrated at 9k lbs. The new test standard came out for 2013 and levels the playing field across all manufacturers in terms of what a vehicle can safely tow. In the case of this video, the guy is clearly exceeding the maximum safe weight that the vehicle is rated to tow. If, for instance, someone were to stop short or pull out in front of this guy and there was an accident, I could see the lawyers having a field day with him in court; it is textbook gross negligence.
