Towing Capacity Calculator by VIN
How to Use the Towing Capacity Calculator
Enter your vehicle’s 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the input field and click “Calculate”. The calculator will provide you with an estimated towing capacity for your vehicle.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator uses certain characters from the VIN to estimate the model year and engine type, which are used in a simple formula to give an estimate of your vehicle’s towing capacity. This is a hypothetical model and does not reflect accurate VIN decoding, and should not be used as a sole source for towing capacity information.
Limitations of the Calculator
This calculator provides estimated results based on a simplified interpretation of VIN characters. Actual towing capacities are determined by many factors including vehicle model, engine size, equipment, and more. Always consult your vehicle owner’s manual, manufacturer or an authorized dealer for accurate towing information specific to your vehicle.
