Recommendations

This tool estimates only the entered checks; it does not certify that a rig is safe or legal. Verify the loaded vehicle, trailer, and axle weights on a suitable scale, and check GAWR, tires, wheels, brakes, vehicle and trailer manuals, receiver and hitch labels, installation ratings, and the trailer certification label before towing.
