ExPatNW you need to read the J2807 tow ratings, Google it or, tow ratings finally pass the sniff test.
I will give you a couple examples:
The SRW trucks must go from 0-30 in 12 seconds and to 60 in 30 seconds.
The DRW trucks must go from 0-30 in 14 seconds and to 60 in 35 seconds.
They are tested up a grade in Arizona called Davis Dam:
The SRW trucks must maintain 40 MPH and the DRW 35.
In short the DRW trucks are held to a lower standard. Read the standards you will see what I'm talking about because there is a lot more. The braking standard has every thing to do with stopping in a Walmart parking lot and nothing to do with 65 MPH on the interstate.
I think we need standards that are more in line with how people actually pull a load on the highway.
