RV Tow Check App
The following image is the typical trailering information label found on many GM vehicles and is perfectly designed to work with the RV Tow Check app.
GM has tailored a label suitable for RV Tow Check.
Is it reasonable to tow a trailer exceeding the towing vehicle's weight safety ratings? It's your decision.
If you do not understand the input initials or know where to find the weight ratings, please study the glossary.
You must enter four required weight inputs only for the tow vehicle. The required entries are gross combination weight rating (GCWR), gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), gross vehicle weight (GVW), and trailer weight ratings (TWR).
Compliant per SAE J2807 |
Red: This zone is not wholly unsafe. However, it is rare for PW or TW percentages to fall within the red zone. Choosing the red zone is a higher risk.
Yellow: Safer selection than choosing the red zone. The national average falls within the yellow range.
Green: Choosing this zone offers peace of mind and will more likely not exceed the tow vehicle’s weight safety ratings.
