You are right because I forgot to say why the ratings have no value. The context was in comparison shopping. Sorry about that.

I think it is great that there is ow a standard and at least Toyota and Ram are following it.
The only reason the others don't want to follow it right now is if they are not making the numbers they wanted/ or claimed. Im sure they all have tested their trucks already to see how they did, and I would venture to guess if the numbers went up the standard would have been more quickly adopted.
