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.
Receiver and vehicle
Confirm both the receiver and tow vehicle permit weight distribution for the intended setup.
Adjustment
Head angle, bracket position and spring-bar tension must be set according to the system manufacturer's procedure.
