One catalog configuration per trim. Each trim comes in several engine, axle, cab and bed combinations with different ratings; a truck's own window sticker has its exact ones. A dash means that figure isn’t shown until it’s confirmed against an OEM source.
Factory tow packages
Verified packages with an OEM order code and what they change for towing. A rating is shown only where every verified source for that code agrees.
