What Is an SAE J2807 Towing Rating?

When you look at the Toyota 4Runner spec sheet, you’ll see “SAE J2807 towing rating-compliant” next to Towing. SAE J2807 was designed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The rating includes all vehicles up to 14,000 pounds GVWR. It’s a set of requirements and tests that standardizes trailer tow ratings for all vehicles from model years 2013 or later.

Testing for this standard includes:

• Launch on Grade
• Flat-Out Acceleration
• Highway Gradeability
• Total Control
• Braking Performance

Engineers take several things into consideration when rating a vehicle’s towing capabilities, and not just engine power. Hitch design and vehicle dynamics are also judged by this impartial third-party organization.

*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.
