Loaded weight matters
Dry trailer weight can materially understate the ready-to-travel trailer.

TOWING CALCULATOR
Tongue weight calculator for a loaded trailer.
Estimate trailer tongue weight as a percentage of loaded trailer weight and carry that load into the TowGauge payload and receiver checks.
WHAT MATTERS
The details behind a reliable answer
TowGauge separates vehicle identity, manufacturer ratings, vehicle-specific inputs and equipment guidance instead of treating them as one data source.
Measure when practical
A tongue-weight scale or verified scale method is stronger than a percentage estimate.
Check the vehicle too
Tongue weight reduces carrying capacity available for people and cargo.
HOW IT WORKS
A clear path from question to answer
Enter trailer weight
Use loaded, ready-to-travel weight when possible.
Estimate or measure
TowGauge defaults to an explicit percentage estimate that you can change.
Run the vehicle checks
