Accessory weights are approximate and are to be used as a guideline only. This calculator is intended as a guide to help you understand potential vehicle load and towing dynamics based on entered data.

The calculator automatically adjusts for the leverage effect of the ball weight by adding 15% to the ball weight when applied to the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and correspondingly reducing the Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) for the Gross Combination Mass (GCM) calculation by the ball weight. It is crucial for users to verify all data and consult with a professional engineer or vehicle modification specialist when planning modifications that could affect vehicle performance or compliance with local regulations.
