📊 CURT 51701 BetterWeigh Mobile Towing Scale with TowSense Technology (OBD2) for Apple & Android Smartphones - Tongue Weight, GCW, Weight Distribution | Black Plastic Review

I weighed my car on the same street for several minutes. Results: 4500, 3000, 3500 pounds. It is absolutely no coincidence that it is reliable for vehicle base measurement. Tried it the next day only to find my phone would stop communicating with the device. It took several tries to find it. A few hours later the connection was lost again. The management could use a lot of improvements. My trailer is fully hooked up, ready to drive and weighing hitch and weight only to get a message saying my…

Got this to see how it was in hopes it would give me a better idea of trailer loading and finer trailer brake adjustment. I was wrong. The weight calibration for my truck was off by over 3000 pounds (over) so I had to do a manual calibration. Then when you want to know the weight of a truck or trailer, you have to use your phone while going from a standstill to 15mph to hope it gives you the weight. For it to help set the brakes you need to know the weight of the truck and the total weight with

This item was installed quickly and easily. Download the free app and get detailed step-by-step instructions on how to use it. While I don't have anything to compare, the results I'm getting are consistent. I plug it in and run the program to get the weights and every time they come back really close. While a digital reading of actual numbers would be better, analog gauges will do for approximate dates. If you want hard numbers, this device isn't for you right now. Future updates may change…

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…

I use this device to weigh my truck and trailer fully loaded. I first test weighed my empty truck and found that it would vary by about 300 pounds from one measurement to the next. I then went through the calibration steps and found it was in the range of about 100 pounds. Before purchasing this unit, I weighed every item I loaded onto a trailer and truck using a standard floor scale. I recorded these weights in a spreadsheet and created a column that allowed me to add or subtract one item from

I like the idea/concept but I'm not happy with the end result. At $99.00 (the Revain price at the time of this review), it's not cheap. But it's certainly a bit cheaper than traveling with a (certified) scale. So he has everything for that. But I'm still a little confused by the results I'm getting and how I can actually use this device in a non-crazy way. What I mean? Well, first of all, why does the app require location to be enabled in order to be used? To be honest, I hate enabling this…

My original review was 1 star. My current rating is 3 stars and may improve to 4-5 stars in the next 2 weeks. My business has been instrument calibration for 25 years. The jump to 2 stars is mainly based on Kurt's customer support. The app is easy to install and easy to find what you need. The factory has really stepped up after-sales service for the device. I have found the device to be accurate when weighing vehicles between 200 and 300 pounds (compared to certified truck scales which are…
