Onboard Scales

Vehicle sensors estimate payload as weight is added. Information may appear on the center screen and, on selected trucks, through smart taillamp indicators.

Smart Hitch

Smart Hitch estimates trailer tongue weight and can provide guidance about load distribution or hitch loading.

Why Tongue Weight Matters

Too little or too much tongue weight can affect trailer stability and vehicle handling. Cargo placement should follow vehicle, trailer and hitch guidance.

Not a Certified Scale

These are assistance tools and do not replace certified scales when precise legal or commercial weight is required.

Everything Counts

Passengers, cargo, tools, hitch equipment, accessories and modifications all consume payload.

Feature Availability and Vehicle-Specific Information

Ford features, ratings, subscriptions, software versions and connected services vary by vehicle, model year, trim, package and hardware. Confirm the exact vehicle using its window sticker, owner information and current Ford account details.

Driver-assistance and towing technologies supplement rather than replace attentive driving, correct loading, proper hitch setup and compliance with vehicle ratings. Owners remain responsible for vehicle control and safe operation.

Why This Matters for St. Louis Drivers

St. Louis-area owners encounter interstate traffic, construction zones, winter weather, urban parking, rural towing routes and long regional trips. Select technology around real driving and ownership needs instead of choosing only from a feature list.
