The counts describe this library, not market availability. Source page numbers are the labels stored with each record; PDF viewer page positions can differ from printed page numbers.
Using a towing record
Start with the configuration column, then match the engine, drivetrain and conditions. “Maximum published configuration” is a model-level ceiling; it does not identify the rating of your particular vehicle. Conventional, fifth-wheel and gooseneck entries are different configurations, not interchangeable options.
A number in the configuration name may describe GCWR or an axle ratio. Read the Source value together with its unit and conditions. Availability, restrictions and instructions are not trailer-weight ratings. “Not stated” means that field was not specified in the stored source record; it does not mean that the field is irrelevant.
What the source date tells you
The verification date belongs to the stored record. It is not the vehicle’s build date or a guarantee that the document has not changed. The source link beside each row lets you check the document and page used for that entry. Different rows may cite different documents.

Missing or conflicting information?
Do not fill an empty field with a neighboring row’s value. A missing record is a coverage gap. Send the page address, model year, configuration and the conflicting source page through Contact SpecAxle so the record can be checked.
