*Performance Score arrived at by statistical comparison of each truck's 0-60 times, quarter-mile times and quarter-mile trap speeds (with and without trailer), and 60-0 braking within the TOTY field. A T-score is computed for each category-the vehicle's performance minus the average for the field, divided by the standard deviation for the field. The result is conditioned for a 1-100 scale. T-scores are averaged for the final Performance score. Extremely good-far above 50; extremely badfar below 50; closely grouped performance results in numbers very close to 50 (the statistical "average" score).

**Towing Work is a measure of the energy each engine expended to accelerate its curb and trailer weight through the quarter mile. This figure provides an apples-to-apples comparison, despite the differing trailer weights towed.
