“Not published”: the maker doesn’t print it. —: not in the documents we hold yet. A number by a column’s name is the source of its figures that have none of their own. Scroll the table sideways for every rating.

SourcesMakerThe small number by a figure says which document it is from.

How Ford rates towing: maximum loaded trailer weight, conventional towing; requires a weight-distributing hitch; driver only (150 lb), no cargo, tongue load 10-15%; the highest maximum loaded trailer weight the guide prints for this configuration across its axle ratios and packages; the rating of a given truck depends on them.
