    Interesting. Gonna have to look into this and hopefully get some user feedback after its release.

    Looks like Curt may have bought the HaulGuage technology. Very similar format.

    Given that everything LCI does is on a just-barely-good-enough basis I'll be waiting for reviews of this product from real people here before jumping in.

    But it does look like nearly-magical simplicity. I wonder what accuracy can be claimed? If it's accurate to within 10%, for some 5th wheel trailers that could be over 300 pounds on the hitch more than reported by the device/app, which may not be insignificant in some situations.

    It claims to be over 95 percent accurate.

    I bought this awhile back and finally got a round to trying it. I had to manually calibrate it by accelerating multiple times from a stop to 15 mph at varying throttle positions. At the end of it all it weighed me 1000 lbs heavier than the CAT scale I had just weight at. So far, not impressed.

    Hi John303, What did the CAT Scale say your combination (GCWR) weight is? If your GCWR is 20,000 lb or more and the BetterWeigh is off by 1,000 lb, then the BetterWeigh is within its +/-5% accuracy rating. Also, if you don't mind sharing, how much did the Unit cost? Thanks, Dan

    This was the empty truck. 9000 vs 10000 lbs. The thing cost $99. If I take a notion I might try it again, but it is kind of a pain.

    I read the Haul Gauge works better on some vehicles than others, and on some older vehicles there is a lot of manual setup to make it work. If I recall there are some vehicles it just plain won't work on no matter what. I believe the technology is the same or similar on this one.

    Continuing a chat about the Curt BetterWeigh product

    I see the last thread was in June of this year. Does anyone have any updates on this Curt BetterWeigh product. Overall, as it applies to a TT, is it a helpful "tool" in that you can more safely feel at ease about tongue weight and make sure you are not at capacity with your load weight limits both in TV and trailer?
