[QUOTE="PlainJane, post: 1508031, member: 32751"] Ford uses SAE J2807 method to calculate it. Here are the main test methods trucks would be measured on as per J2807: [LIST] [*]Cooling capability on a long highway upgrade modeled on the Davis Dam grade on Arizona SR 68; [*]Launch and acceleration performance on a level road and a 12 percent upgrade; [*]Combined handling performance – understeer and trailer sway; [*]Combined braking performance – stopping distance and parking brake-hold on grade; and [*]Structural performance for the vehicle and hitch or hitch receiver. [/LIST] New calculations for trailer weight ratings: In addition to the performance standards, SAE J2807 also uses a specific set of assumptions to calculate maximum trailer weight ratings: [LIST] [*]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. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
