The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has sought to ensure a level playing field for drivers who need to compare the tow ratings of different models. They’ve designed a series of tests, assessing a vehicle’s structure, ballast, chassis, and tires, in order to ensure all-around capability.
These engineers know that there’s a lot more to towing than engine power alone. As a result, their tests look at overall vehicle dynamics and hitch structure at the same as they evaluate a given model’s power and torque. Choosing an SUV or a truck that’s been rated to SAE J2807 standards is the best way to ensure that you’re getting your money’s worth.
