Just a cut and paste from manufacturers' handouts. And not including GCM and GVM makes the comparisons useless.
In other words a complete waste of electrons.

 Agreed Dennis. Because that article is so full of misinformation designed to make people believe that those cars can safely tow the claimed weights, I had decided not to dignify it by responding. Smoke and mirrors, but the numbers of these vehicles on the road are confirmation that that marketing method works. Ram 1500, for example, cannot tow much more than 3000kg ATM as a PIG trailer. Tow 4500kg? Yeah, right. Cheers

You're right Doug, but I just couldn't be bothered taking the bait. Already I have explained many times why, in many cases, claimed towing capacities   cannot be reached. Slowly, I think, members are beginning to understand. Cheers

You people do have it right (fishing), as I said it has been a bit quiet on here lately, (that's why I posted it) except for the Ice Cars in Europe. One of the main reasons I come on is for the humor and the smile I give myself thinking the older people get the younger they act.
Anyway I am happy with myself and my get off is easy to sustain, also I do entertain my wife reading some of the posts. Especially 75% of the forum picking on poor old Yobar, I admire his tenacity. Good luck and safe travels people.
If you reply with intent you will only make me smile, as a few have done in the past. let's lighten up, I know for some of you it is too late!

The problem GB is that most of the old regulars are losing interest in debating "proven facts" - I no longer post in the funnies section because of being criticised for repeating an old joke. I now only post against topics that interest me or within my area of expertise.
