What Is a SAE J2807 Towing Rating?

In order to be confident about a vehicle’s towing capabilities, you’ll need to check for SAE J2807 certification. It holds certain factors to be constant, so it can accurately compare towing capabilities across and between segments. Its requirements apply to the structure, ballast, chassis, and tires.

When determining a vehicle’s SAE J2807 tow rating, the experts consider more than just engine power. They also take into account factors like overall vehicle dynamics and hitch structure. If you’re looking at a truck or SUV that hasn’t been certified, you’ll need to do additional research to find and compare its capabilities with other models.

*Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any Weight Ratings and follow all instructions in your Owner’s Manual. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. “Added vehicle equipment” includes additional standard/optional equipment and accessories added by the manufacturer, dealers, and/or vehicle owners. The only way to be certain of your vehicle’s exact curb weight is to weigh your vehicle without passengers or cargo.
