  • 2000 lbs

Whether you're towing a dump trailer, box trailer, or your family's tow-behind camper, you should always check to make sure that your load is evenly distributed and within the capacity of the vehicle towing it. You can measure and do the math yourself, or you can trust JD from Big Truck Big RV and his tongue weight scale to do it for you.


Hand on scale

One of the great things about this tongue weight scale is that you bring the scale to the coupler instead of cranking the coupler down to the scale. With an impressive 20-1/2" height, this scale should easily reach the coupler on most standard trailers. It locks in 2" increments with an easy-squeeze lever so you can fine-tune the height, which means less cranking on the jack to get your trailer to the height where it needs to be. Once everything is set up, you'll only have to raise your trailer jack about 1-2" off the ground to transfer the weight onto the scale and get an accurate reading on the gauge. By keeping the jack low to the ground, you minimize any chance of the trailer tongue falling, which keeps you safe. There is also a set screw built into the body of the scale to make sure that the foot doesn't fall out.


Close-up of Gauge

There is a really neat feature on the gauge that shows your tongue weight in tons. This indicator lets you see at a glance if you're approaching a weight range that could be too high for your current vehicle to handle. If you see that happening, try rearranging your load to lessen the tongue weight. If that doesn't work, you may need to consider moving up to a heavier-rated tow vehicle.


Close-up of Bag

You are going to want to keep this scale with you all the time. The Big Truck Big RV bag is stylish and functional. The material is durable and weather resistant making it great for tossing in the back seat or in the trailer. Not only does the scale fit in here, but you can throw in other small essentials like wiring adapters or rags for greasy hands.


The scale has an aluminum body with a powder coated steel foot and latch that are built to last. We've tested this scale and pushed it to the limit to make sure it is safe and easy for everyone to use. We don't recommend using it on unlevel ground or at an extreme angle because that could damage the scale and may not read your actual weight. Also, always make sure your wheels are chocked while using the scale to prevent your trailer from moving.


BTBRV Safety Insert

With etrailer's limited lifetime warranty, you can rest assured that this scale will last.

by:

I got a chance to use this, and am a big fan of the lever allowing you to very quickly adjust the height of the scale to match your trailer. Other tongue weight scales I've used required finding blocks/wood scraps to build up to try and keep the trailer level when getting the reading. The tongue weight I got seemed about what I expected it to be, though I did not double check with a CAT scale or anything to verify the accuracy. Checking it multiple times on the same trailer did result in the same measurement, so that's a good sign on the gauge used!



by:

Well made, easy to use. I appreciate being able to measure tongue weight at the working height of the coupler, and not need to block up the scale to get there.



by:

A better way to weigh the tongue weight since it is adjustable. It is still just a bit short in full extension for my trailer, so I had to put a block under it to be long enough. It is still much better than using the short 6" style I have and trying to find enough blocks to make it tall enough to weigh my unit.
Very happy with this purchase and glad it included a storage bag.



by:

It is easy to use. Good adjustability. Easily found out my loaded tongue weight.



by:

I like that you don’t need a floor jack or a bunch of wood blocks like you need with those stubby models. EZ to use.



by:

Have two rv's and a dump trailer. This item should insure me that I am towing safely.



by:

This scale appears to be well made and it lets me dial in my trailer tongue without the guess work. Quick and easy set up. A small price to pay for a lot of peace of mind. Well with the price.

Works great. Came on time. Was just as advertised

  • Can The Big Truck Big RV Tongue Weight Scale # BTBRV44FR Connect To A Trailer Jack
    Hey Michael, The Big Truck Big RV Tongue Weight Scale # BTBRV44FR unfortunately can not attach to the bottom of the trailer jack like the etrailer tongue weight scale # e99044 does. The footplate for this scale is held in with a screw so that it can't leave the outer tube and there isn't an included adapter for the scale head to slot into like the # e99044 does.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for Trailer With 11,495 lb GVWR
    Greetings Tim; when you choose a WDH you want to go off of the tongue weight of your loaded setup. The best way to find this is to measure with a scale like the # BTBRV44FR. Since you provided the specs for your trailer we can take a guess to help find the right system. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight. We know your dry tongue weight is 890 lbs. Factor in batteries and propane and you're already adding about 100 lbs so close to 1,000 lbs unloaded. At the high...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch With A Drop Needed For A 2023 GMC Yukon
    Hi Kevin, You're just needing a weight distribution hitch with a larger drop shank. To pick out the right one we'll first need to know the tongue of the trailer while it's fully loaded. You can do this with a tongue weight scale # BTBRV44FR or you can measure using a highway weigh station. Next you'll need to measure to see what size drop shank you need. To do this you'll measure down to the ground from the top of the inside of the trailer hitch receiver tube. On the trailer you'll...

  • Which Equal-i-zer WDH for Camper With 9,500 lb GVWR and 2021 Silverado Carrying Golf Cart
    Hello Glen; to find the right system we will need to know the tongue weight of your loaded setup. The best way to find this for the trailer is to use a tongue weight scale like the # BTBRV44FR. Since tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight we can take a guess based on the GVWR. At 9,500 lbs you're looking at 950-1,425 lbs. More than likely it would fall in the middle so figure around 1,200 lbs max. Assuming you're running it heavy like that you're already ruling...

  • Solution for Rear Sag on 2022 GMC Yukon Towing 6,000 lb Travel Trailer
    Hi Jason; it looks like your 2022 Yukon towing capacity is 7,500-7,900 lbs so I'm not surprised you're getting that rear sag. The best solution is going to be a weight distribution hitch. This will keep you level and also help reduce trailer sway for a much improved towing experience. I see you looked at some suspension enhancement but your only option is the # CSS-1168F which fits a 2WD and is only for the front axle which doesn't help anything. To choose the right weight distribution...

    Hey Al, Having used both I can confirm that the Big Truck Big RV Tongue Weight Scale w/ Storage Bag for Trailers # BTBRV44FR has been the better choice over the etrailer # e99044.
