This towing capacity calculator subtracts the loaded tow vehicle from the gross combined weight rating, then keeps the lower of that room and the published tow rating. The payload calculator is GVWR minus curb weight. The truck load calculator is the payload left after people and cargo. Dengaro does not finance trucks today. The link is for other business equipment.

How it works
A 15,000 pound GCWR, a 5,500 pound curb weight, 400 pounds of people, and 300 pounds of cargo leaves 8,800 pounds of GCWR room. A published tow rating of 10,000 pounds does not raise that. The lower number is 8,800 pounds. Payload is a 7,000 pound GVWR minus the 5,500 pound curb weight, which is 1,500 pounds. Payload left after people and cargo is 800 pounds. That 800 pounds is the truck load calculator result for what can still go in the vehicle, not on the trailer. Tongue weight usually counts against payload. This page does not add it unless you include it in the cargo field. These are the ratings you type. They are not a scale ticket and not a rating Dengaro publishes.
Formula
Limited tow = the lower of GCWR room and the published tow rating. Payload = GVWR − curb. Payload left = payload − people − cargo. The payload calculator and the truck load calculator are those last two lines.
Example
Room under the lower limit is 8,800 pounds. Payload is 1,500 pounds. Payload left is 800 pounds. If the published rating were 5,000, the tow line would drop to 5,000 because the rating would be the lower limit.
Tips
Door stickers and the manufacturer tow guide are the inputs. A brochure curb weight can miss options. Passengers, fuel, and a hitch belong in the loaded weight. This page does not publish a rating.
Equipment
The button opens an equipment financing application for business equipment that is not a truck. No weight from this page is sent as a loan amount.
Important questions
From the vehicle, not from Dengaro. This towing capacity calculator is planning math from the numbers you enter.
Both limits apply. You cannot use GCWR room the manufacturer did not also allow as a tow rating. The page keeps the lower number.
Put it in the cargo field if it sits on the vehicle. The payload calculator then reduces what is left. This form has no separate tongue line.
No. Payload is what the vehicle itself can carry. Towing capacity is what it can pull, and the two share the same curb weight. The truck load calculator here is the payload left.
