Review on ๐Ÿ“Š CURT 51701 BetterWeigh Mobile Towing Scale with TowSense Technology (OBD2) for Apple & Android Smartphones - Tongue Weight, GCW, Weight Distribution | Black Plastic by David Cronin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't use it if you're a fan of precision.

Weighing instructions include opening throttle 1/2 after full stop. I'm talking about laying rubber at this point. This is a very abrupt start, so don't put the passengers in the car unless you want to annoy them. I did the first run, it hit 6900lbs and I was shocked considering my car had a gross weight of 6900lbs and the truck had no payload other than passengers. There were passengers in the car so I figured I'd try it later on my own. I recalibrated the level and tried again. First run, ยฃ6,700 Second run, ยฃ6,100 Third run, ยฃ5,900. Reset four run ยฃ5,500 What the heck? My car curb weight is 5138 lbs so is that close? But really, I don't know who to trust with this thing. This does NOT prevent me from stepping on the cat scale for accurate draw weights. Not happy, and it really isn't the best way.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Unreliable
