CHOOSE WISELY
FOR EXAMPLE
Here is an example of how to calculate the realistic towing capacity of a vehicle: Consider a
fictional one-ton diesel longbed extended-cab
pickup with 2WD and single rear wheels that
is set up for towing. Well arbitrarily assign it
a GVWR of 9,900 pounds, a front GAWR of 5,000
pounds, a rear GAWR of 6,824 pounds, a GCWR
of 23,000 pounds and a quoted maximum tow
rating of 17,000 pounds.
As is often the case in single-rear-wheel
trucks, the rear axles GAWR on this truck is
derived from each tires maximum load of
3,412 pounds. Pickups such as this normally
start at more than 6,000 pounds, and with a
diesel, automatic and nice trim, figure that
with a full tank of fuel and hitch, this unit
weighs at least 7,000 pounds. If we add two
standard-size people (154 pounds each),
a few tools and some cargo, it weighs 7,500
pounds. That is split to 4,000 pounds on the
front axle and 3,500 pounds on the rear axle.
The first thing you should have noticed is
that the maximum tow rating cannot apply
with the truck fully loaded because GCWR
(23,000) minus GVWR (9,900) leaves 13,100
pounds about 4,000 pounds less than
quoted towing ability. After adding options
and people to the example truck, and subtracting that value (7,500) from GCWR (23,000),
the effective working tow rating of the truck
becomes 15,500 pounds, about 1,500 pounds
less than the trucks quoted maximum towing rating.
However, you have yet to check all the numbers and verify that a 15,500-pound trailer
will work. If that trailer is a fifth-wheel and
has 20 percent of its weight on the pin, that
adds 3,100 pounds to the back of the truck.
This would make the truck overweight its
7,500-pound ready-to-roll weight plus the
OTHER FACTORS

A towing package is only part of the picture; a weightdistributing hitch should be used to balance the load.

ROUNDUP
New models and cutting-edge technologies offer consumers
more and better choices than ever
(Cyan)

(BlacK)
where fuel economy used to be a primary concern when considering a truck for the family
vehicle, many full-size pickups are knocking
on 30 MPG.
The model year 2015 also marks the first
year that all manufacturers are compliant
with the Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAE) standard J2807. First published in 2008
and revised in 2010, J2807 outlines the performance requirements for determining tow
vehicle gross combination weight rating and
trailer weight rating. The standard ensures
that all manufacturers use the same test
criteria to arrive at their ratings, ensuring
consistency and accuracy throughout the
industry. As a result, many of this years tow
ratings may have changed significantly, either
positively or negatively, depending on make
and model of the vehicle in question.
This is undoubtedly one of the most exciting years for trucks in recent memory, with
each of the big three offering all-new models
or significant upgrades to existing products.

HOW TO USE
THIS GUIDE
example, Ram trucks are listed with tow ratings depending on transmission type and axle.
Chevrolet/GMC and Ford trucks distinguish
between conventional and fifth-wheel trailer
towing. In some listings, youll note that models have two ratings separated by a slash; the
first rating is for conventional towing, and the
second is for fifth-wheel towing.
Where applicable, weve also included relevant manufacturers notes for a particular
vehicle or model line. Always check with your
dealer for details on the model you plan to purchase, including tow rating, payload capacity,
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), gross combination weight rating (GCWR) and gross axle
weight rating (GAWR). q

THE BASICS
OF HITCHING
CONVENTIONAL HITCHES
All hitches are rated by their respective manufacturers to safely handle up to a specific gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which is the weight
of the trailer with full water and LP-gas cylinders and all supplies aboard. Several weight
classes exist for hitches designed for towing
conventional travel trailers.
Weight-carrying hitches are intended for
lighter trailers because the entire trailers
hitch weight is carried on the ball and transferred to the rear axle of the tow vehicle,
whereas weight-distributing hitches are designed to distribute the trailers hitch weight
to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer,
making larger, heavier trailers with consider-

HITCH ADJUSTMENT

To determine weight, first get a reading on axle weight, then unhitch the trailer for a total
weight reading (with the tow vehicles wheels off the scale), and then subtract the two.
bars. When all aspects are correct, the tow vehicle and the trailer are at the proper ride height,
which in most cases is level. One exception will
be described later. Proper hitch adjustment
helps prevent rear-axle overloading and improves braking and steering response.
Evaluating the proper adjustment of a
weight-distributing hitch is relatively simple:
The tow vehicle should maintain roughly the
same attitude before hitching that it does after
hitching, measured at reference points at the
front and rear bumpers or wheel wells. If it is
level before hitching, it should be level afterward, although slightly lower due to the addition of hitch weight. A level attitude means the
adequate load has been placed on the spring
bars to distribute portions of the hitch weight
equally to the front and rear axles. If the rear
of the tow vehicle sags after hitching, then the
spring-bar loading isnt adequate.
The exception to level attitude: If the tow
vehicle is a stiffly sprung pickup and the rear
of the truck is higher than the front, that attitude should be maintained after hitching. Such
trucks will often carry heavy loads without the
need for weight-distributing hitches and without
sagging. But care must be exercised here. Although the truck may not look like its sagging
visually, the hitch weight carried by the rear
axle may still create an unstable situation.
If the trailer is not level after the spring bars
have been adjusted to create the proper towvehicle attitude, then the ball height should
be corrected.
Trailer sway can be a problem if trailer balance or hitch adjustment are not correct, as the
trailer exerts steering leverage on the tow vehicle because it is connected to the tow vehicle
3 or 4 feet behind the rear axle. With correct
hitching, trailer balance may be a problem if
the hitch weight is less than 10 percent of gross
weight. It should be more than 10 percent
(we recommend a minimum of 12 percent)
for best stability.
Even with a well-balanced trailer and a
properly adjusted hitch, use of a sway-control
device is highly recommended. Sway-control
devices are designed to damp rotation of the
coupler on the hitch ball. They improve the
handling characteristics of the trailer/tow vehicle combination, whether the hitch method is
weight-carrying or weight-distributing.
A weight-distributing hitch distributes weight to all axles of the tow vehicle and the trailer.

FIFTH-WHEEL HITCHES
Fifth-wheel towing is a different story altogether. The trailers kingpin serves as the
pivot point for the fifth-wheel hitch, which is
centered slightly ahead or over the trucks
rear axle. The trailers kingpin slides into the
hitch saddle, where it is secured by latching
jaws or some other mechanism. This saddle
is attached to a support base, which transfers
the towing forces to the truck frame.
The design prevents the trailer from having
any steering effect on the tow vehicle and is
what gives fifth-wheel trailers such good road
manners. Wind gusts and road irregularities
have little or no effect on tow-vehicle stability.
Most hitches are secured to the bed with a
pair of mounting rails, while other underbed
systems leave the truck bed flat after the hitch
is removed.
Until a few years ago, fifth-wheel hitches
had been strictly aftermarket add-ons. But
Ford, GM and Ram upped the ante with the
availability of a factory-installed fifth-wheel
hitch, providing clean installation and a factory
warranty. These factory hitches are installed
using specially designed pins that lock the
rails into the bed. The trailers electrical connection has been mounted into the side of the
bed for added convenience.
Most removable aftermarket systems
use permanently mounted rails with pins to
secure the hitch saddle. The underbed style
of the fifth-wheel-hitch mount is completely
different in that the entire hitch mechanism
is removed by simply pulling a lever in the
wheel well. PullRite also uses an underbed
system with removable connection pins. Some
systems, such as the B&W Turnover Ball and
Companion, allow the hitch saddle and support base to be removed separately, making it
easier on the back when lifting the hardware.
Many fifth-wheel hitches are mounted so
that they tilt fore and aft; however, having only
the fore-and-aft pivot restricts side-to-side
movement.
Some hitches have heads that pivot in multiple directions, allowing the pinbox to move
in any direction with respect to the pickup,
while still maintaining a tight mechanical connection. This also makes it easier to hitch or
unhitch the trailer on uneven ground.
Another strategy for improving trailertruck flexibility involves the use of air springs
as part of the hitch design. Typically, the

be retrofitted to earlier truck models, and
aftermarket controllers still must be used for
most other vehicles, so the demand for those
aftermarket controllers remains quite large.
Accordingly, its helpful to understand whats
out there and how to make a good choice.

Controllers on page 35).
Stability Control: More manufacturers are
now offering electronic stability control. In addition, Chevy, Ford, Ram and Toyota Tundra
trucks can be equpped with an electronic stability control that helps control trailer sway.
Mirrors: Towing packages offer mirrors
designed to be extended outward while towing
trailers. Some mirrors even collapse electronically.
Extra Cooling: The largest possible radiator, a larger transmission-oil cooler and often a
power-steering-fluid cooler are essential parts
of the usual HD cooling component of a towing package, and we advise that no tow vehicle
should be ordered without them.
These components will not only help the tow
vehicle avoid overheating any vital functional
parts, but they will also lead to longer, troublefree component service life. q

the start. Maintaining extended following distances is one of the most important towingrelated driving habits, which may be difficult
to adhere to initially.
Even though trailer brakes may be functional, braking distances almost always are
extended. Its also important to make lane
changes carefully and slowly, and to allow
extended distances for passing. High-quality,
properly adjusted towing mirrors with large
reflective areas are also essential. Some
manufacturers have factory-installed extendable towing mirrors available, and most
work well these days. If you need aftermarket
portable mirrors, solidly mounted units like
those from McKesh are a good idea.

slower 18-wheelers than of slower RVs,
which makes courtesy an important safety
factor for RV owners because an irate driver
trying to pass can pose a serious safety
threat. Frequent monitoring of rearview
mirrors is necessary while towing; when a
vehicle is tailgating and trying to pass, RVers
should help by driving slightly to the right
to give the other driver a better view of the
road ahead, even if a passing opportunity
does not exist at the time. RVers should use
turnouts whenever possible and avoid following another vehicle so closely that a vehicle
overtaking from the rear cannot return to the
proper lane.
BRAKING
While tow-vehicle and trailer brakes are adequate for most situations, care is necessary
to avoid overheating, which can lead to brake
fade. If brake fade occurs, it will likely be on
steep downgrades. Brake fade happens when
friction raises the temperature of brake pads
and linings to extremely high levels, resulting

effective with travel trailers than with fifthwheels, which often require more turning of
the steering wheel.
Handheld two-way radios can allow an
assistant to more effectively relay backing
instructions to the driver. In addition, backup
cameras help ease the difficulty of hitching up
when a helper isnt available.
Before each trip, its essential to check the
tires to ensure that inflation pressures match
those molded on tire sidewalls (cold), or that
they are appropriate for your load (consult
the tire and vehicle load/inflation tables).
Also, be sure to inspect all vehicle fluids, per
standard maintenance procedure during
heavy-duty vehicle use cycles, and make sure
trailer-wheel lug nuts are tightened to factory
specifications.
Trailering is a great way to explore new
horizons and to check out the wonderful
camping destinations that are available to
owners of recreational trailers. Always keep
in mind that defensive driving will pay off in
safe travel. q
