About this tool & how to use it
What it does
Compares a trailer's weight and tongue weight with the towing capacity and payload you enter. It is not a safety check.
How to use it
- Enter the towing capacity from your owner's manual and the loaded trailer weight.
- Enter the tongue weight as a percent of the trailer, or in pounds if you know it.
- Optionally enter the payload rating and what you carry in the vehicle.
Example values are filled in so you can press the button and see what this tool does. Change them, or .
From your vehicle's owner's manual: this page does not know any vehicle's rating.
Leave empty if you enter the tongue weight in pounds below.
If you know it, it is used instead of the percent.

Assumptions
- Calculated estimates are not a substitute for your vehicle manufacturer's specifications or professional inspection and advice.
- This page never knows a vehicle's towing capacity. It compares only the numbers you type.
- It does not check the hitch, the axle ratings or the combined weight, and it never says towing is safe.
