What's New in TowCheck
1.1.0
August 20, 2026
More reliable calculations throughout, plus a clearer first-launch explanation of what TowCheck does: counts your whole load, not just the trailer, so you know your truck is under payload before you pull out. IN THIS VERSION • Steadier, more reliable verdict calculations • A quick one-time confirmation on first launch covering how to use TowCheck and verify your own measurements • Minor fixes NEW TO TOWCHECK? Most tow calculators only weigh the trailer. That's why they tell you you're fine when your truck is 300 lb over. TowCheck counts everything that actually rides on your truck: trailer tongue weight, passengers, dogs, propane, fresh water, and whatever is in the bed. Enter your truck and trailer once, straight off the door-jamb and tongue placards, check off who and what's coming, and get one color-coded verdict. It checks truck payload, truck GVWR, trailer GVWR, tongue weight percentage, and hitch receiver rating, then shows exactly which number is close or exceeded. The verdict updates live as you check people, pets, and gear in and out, so you can see what to leave behind to get back under your limits. Save trip profiles for a lake weekend, a horse show, or a job site and switch loadouts in a tap. Build a pre-tow checklist for your walkaround: hitch, safety chains, tire pressure, lights, doors, jacks. Works fully offline, on device. No account, no sign-up. Your vehicle and trip data never leave your phone. TowCheck is a planning aid, not a substitute for a certified scale. Always follow your vehicle and hitch manufacturer's ratings.
