The towing regs (of which I now can can't remember official name) were supposed to set up so that all manufactures had to comply and level the playing field so to speak.

Toyota is the only manufactures that officially complied and that resulted in them lowering their ratings slightly (about 10-15% IIRCC).

The big 3 decided that they would not comply (until a totally redesigned model was due to release) and therefore their ratings are still unrealisticly high according to the rquirements of the new towing regs.
