This multi-function Resistance and Load Calculator was designed to aid towing and recovery operators in calculating resistance and the load forces encountered during every recovery. It will assist towing operators in performing the calculations of surface and gradient resistance such as rolling, damage, mire and gradient. Our first in-app purchase also includes the following: - It will assist you in calculating anchorability and weight transfer automatically. - Allow you to upload and save information for each truck in your fleet by entering the static weight of each axle along with the wheel base and 3 distances of overhang. This information will be saved in the app so that you may select the truck you are operating and have the actual towing capacity and lift capacity at your finger tips. New features will be added for the full paid version.

TowCheck helps you answer the question that matters before every trip: can I safely tow this setup today? Instead of giving you a pile of hard-to-read numbers, TowCheck checks your current vehicle, trailer, and load setup and shows a clear result: Safe, Warning, or Unsafe. Built for SUV, pickup, travel trailer, utility trailer, and boat trailer owners, TowCheck helps you catch common towing problems before you leave, including payload limits, tow rating issues, GVWR problems, and tongue or pin weight concerns. Use TowCheck to: • Run a Quick Check in seconds • Compare estimated and measured values • See what is actually limiting your setup • Understand whether the problem is payload, tow rating, GVWR, or tongue weight • Save vehicle and trailer profiles for repeat use • Compare different setups before a trip • Review practical next-step guidance, not just raw numbers TowCheck is designed for real pre-trip decisions, whether you are loading up for a weekend camping trip, towing a utility trailer for work, or checking if a different hitch or cargo plan changes the outcome. If you tow with a truck or SUV and want a faster, clearer way to check trailer safety before you go, TowCheck gives you a practical answer you can trust. TowCheck provides guidance for planning and reference only. Always confirm final safety decisions with your vehicle door sticker, owner’s manual, manufacturer ratings, and real measured weights when available.
