We built a towing compatibility checker after our van arrived 300kg heavier than what we paid for.

When we bought our van for our big lap, the one we'd sold the house for and packed up our whole life for, it arrived 300kg heavier than specified. Three hundred kilograms. We were less than impressed. We were just lucky our setup could absorb it.
Not long after we met a couple on the road whose brand new custom build arrived on delivery day and neither of their vehicles could legally tow it. The van they'd dreamed about, saved for, had built to their exact specifications. Delivery day. Ten thousand dollars in suspension upgrades before they could go anywhere.
We've heard versions of this story all through our travels. People towing illegally and not knowing it. Families operating right at the edge of every limit, one extra passenger or one full water tank away from a situation that could turn serious. All because nobody sat down with them before they signed and said, hang on, let's actually check this.
So we built Towit.
It checks towing capacity, payload, GCM and tow ball weight simultaneously and gives you a plain English result in about 2 minutes. Knowing before you buy can save you thousands. And knowing your family and your investment are genuinely safe on the road is worth a whole lot more than that.
We're in beta and offering the first 20 full reports completely free. All we ask in return is honest answers to 3 short questions once you've read your report.
