What Is a Tow Capacity Calculator?

A Tow Capacity Calculator helps RV owners, truck drivers and trailer users estimate whether their vehicle can safely tow a camper, travel trailer, boat or cargo trailer.

Why Towing Capacity Matters

Overloading your vehicle can damage the engine, brakes, suspension and transmission. It can also make driving unsafe on highways, hills and long road trips.

Important Towing Terms

• Towing Capacity: Maximum weight your vehicle can tow.
• Trailer Weight: Weight of your RV, camper or trailer.
• Cargo Weight: Extra luggage, water, tools and camping gear.
• Safe Margin: It is better to stay below maximum towing capacity.
