The towing capacity isn't the only number that matters.
Dealers and manufacturers advertise towing capacity based on an empty setup. Once you've loaded gear, water and passengers, the real number is often very different. The Towing Weight Simulator shows you what your actual combination can handle, before you buy or hit the road.
Log your accessories and cargo once, and the simulator recalculates your real weights every time your setup changes.

Demo scenario. Vehicle and van are fictional.
Why it matters.
Being under the legal limit doesn't mean your rig is safe. Where the weight sits matters just as much, and it's what you actually feel behind the wheel.
Work out which mods and accessories your setup actually needs before you buy. Bandaid fixes bolted on later to cover a bad match cost more, and can compromise your safety on the road.
Match your tug and van properly and you get performance and comfort together. It stays predictable on bitumen, corrugations or in a crosswind, you'll just drive to the conditions like always.
We ran our own rig, a 2023 Ford Ranger Sport towing a 2025 Atlas RVS, through the simulator, then had it independently weighed by Get-A-Weigh. The simulator's estimate landed within 2% across every measured point.
Catch it early and 30kg over is a few slabs left at home. Find out after you've bought and 300kg over is a GVM upgrade, if your vehicle can even get one.
It won't replace an actual weigh, but it gives you a strong, reliable read before you buy or travel. Where your gear ends up once it's packed in the van is still on you, the simulator can't account for how you've loaded it.
