TowGauge only applies a towing record when the source supports it.
Know your numbers. Match your setup.
What can your vehicle actually tow?
Choose the vehicle, enter the trailer weight, and TowGauge checks the manufacturer-sourced ratings it can verify—without making you learn towing jargon first.

One number is enough to start a quick TowGauge check.

MORE THAN A VIN DECODER
Use VIN to get closer to the exact vehicle.
A VIN can identify useful vehicle fields, but towing-critical details can still require confirmation. TowGauge keeps decoded identity separate from the manufacturer towing record.

Built to be useful before the hitch is connected.
Ratings, vehicle labels, VIN identity, product fitment and legal requirements are different data layers. TowGauge keeps them that way.
Manufacturer-sourced ratings
Live profiles retain their OEM source and verification details.
VIN-assisted identification
Decode useful vehicle identity without pretending VIN supplies every tow-critical option.
Payload-aware results
Use the specific vehicle's carrying capacity when it is available.
Exact-fit commerce architecture
Product pages are ready for real fitment/inventory feeds rather than fake SKUs.
Canada-first rules
Ontario towing and trailer-brake pages are linked to official provincial sources.
YOUR SETUP. YOUR NUMBERS.
Start with the vehicle. TowGauge the rest.
