TowLoadCheck checks: • Vehicle payload • Trailer GVWR • Maximum trailer rating • Tongue weight • GCWR • Receiver and hitch limits See how much capacity remains, which rating is closest to its limit, and exactly where your setup exceeds an entered rating. TRY WHAT-IF SCENARIOS Add or remove vehicle weight, trailer weight or change estimated tongue weight to see the effect instantly. SAVE YOUR SETUPS Save your vehicles and trailers once, then quickly check today's load whenever you're ready to tow. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Works offline • No account • No ads • No subscription • US and metric units • Your saved vehicle and trailer information stays on your device TowLoadCheck compares the weights and ratings you enter. It does not determine whether a vehicle/trailer combination is safe to operate. Always follow vehicle, trailer, hitch, tire and equipment manufacturer ratings and instructions.
