Towing Calcualtor - Not having to look up truck ratings

[valhalla360]

Lots of towing calculators on the internet but every one I've seen makes you go look up the numbers for your truck and enter the actual ratings yourself.

Once I've looked up the ratings, it's just as easy to calculate it myself, so they aren't of much use.

Has anyone come across a calculator where you can enter your truck:
- Year
- Model
- Cab Type
- Rear Axle
- Engine
- Etc...

And it automatically looks up the ratings and spits out the maximum capabilities. Might be limited to your common tow vehicles (say, pickups, full size vans and large SUVs) and would have to be updated with each years new models.

This way if you are shopping, you can quickly enter the truck and it will give you the end products of what you can tow (obviously with the usual disclaimers).

There are too many variables to have a towing guide based on so little information. You also need to know the tire size, GVWR. Ford alone has more than 10 different F150 XLTs. At least 6 different F150 Lariats, and several FX4, plus F150 STX. Sports, King ranch, Platinum. the list goes on.

That is why none of the towing guides are really all that accurate.
