Message: [QUOTE="Nytefog, post: 1104414, member: 17288"] [b]Tow specs for future trucks will be changing....[/b] After to speaking to a very knowledgable ford fleet sales person. I was told that very soon that SAE towing procedures will be used to get real towing numbers so max numbers can be altered by manufacturers to get favorable numbers. Things are about to change... SAE uses worst case situations with 100 degree out door temp, windows open, AC running, electronics on, ect...currently only Toyota uses this testing on their trucks. Ford and Chevy trucks are expected to see a significant drop in max towing numbers. Dodge is the only one that are expected to keep their ratings. Keep a eye out because they will be using these test for Pickups not just chassis can models. This is what I was told last week. I will be looking into this more. [/QUOTE]
