For 2002 there are even more new models, not to mention a multitude of new technologies sure to find favor with RVers. To help simplify things, we have combined some columns, such as conventional/fifth-wheel tow ratings and manual/automatic tow ratings. This not only helps shorten the guide, it makes it easier for you to make direct comparisons between truck/trailer setups with respect to their maximum tow capacities. In addition, you’ll note that we have excluded passenger car tow ratings from this year’s list (since precious few are rated to tow more than 2,000 pounds), as well as some less-popular vehicle models.
These vehicles will be included in the complete TL tow rating booklet, available separately. And as usual, vehicles capable of towing under 2,000 pounds will be excluded from both guides. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of all ratings, but because our information is often preliminary at the time of publication, some numbers may have changed by the time you visit your dealer’s showroom. When in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s towing guide (available at your dealership) or the vehicle owner’s manual to be certain.
