[Lt Keefer]

The article tells me nothing. One sentence says, "How do automakers come up with the tow rating on a new pickup truck? You might imagine it's a number calculated by engineers sitting at desks, a theoretical measure that's based on a truck's ideal capabilities." Then the article goes on about a test and its measurements. Then the article says, "For each test, the truck must be towing the maximum load recommended by the manufacturer." It never tells how the maximum load recommendation is determined. It tells how it is tested. So what do they do, start at 0 or start at 50,000 lbs. As usual, journalism and the editors of the press have lost the ability to tell us anything.
