Ratings

Tow types stay separate

Conventional, fifth-wheel, and gooseneck values are shown as distinct outcomes when GMC publishes more than one for a configuration.

Truck check

Equipment conditions stay visible

A condition attached to a rating remains part of the answer. It is not treated as an optional note.

Guide
