An apparatus for testing vehicle stone chippings is disclosed. The apparatus includes a stone chipping rig having a chassis. The chassis includes a first end, a second end, and a longitudinally extending tongue extending from the second end. A rolling fixture is coupled to the first end of the chassis. A stone chipping test device is coupled to the first end of the chassis adjacent to the rolling fixture for measuring an impact force of a stone that strikes the stone chipping test device. The apparatus further includes a pilot vehicle used to receive the stone chipping rig so as to measure the impact force of the stone launched off the pilot vehicle wheels when the pilot vehicle travels on a road with loose gravel. The stone chipping rig is defined as a test vehicle towed at a fixed distance behind the pilot vehicle.
