If you've ever guessed at your trailer's tongue weight and hoped for the best, you're not alone. This compact scale gives you a quick, one-handed way to check weight at the coupler. It even comes with a SnapPad for added grip.
If your trailer sways, or your truck feels light in the steering, or unsettled over bumps, your tongue weight could be off. This scale helps you dial it in before you hit the road. With a simple squeeze of the lever, you can adjust the height with one hand and lower the trailer with the other. Just set the foot in 2" steps, position it under the coupler, and crank your jack a couple inches. You'll get a clear, accurate reading in seconds. No math. No guesswork. Just a smoother, safer tow.
Ever set up on gravel or grass and felt your rig teeter like it's one gust away from tipping? This scales wide steel foot stays planted so you get accurate readings even when the ground's working against you. The built-in set screw holds the foot in place, so it doesn't drop out while you're adjusting the height. And to boost your footing, it comes with a 6" SnapPad that adds grip and stability when things get sketchy.
No squinting, no second guessing. The large analog display shows tongue weight in 50-lb increments up to 2,000 lbs. It also shows tongue weight in tons, so you'll know right away if you're creeping up on your vehicle's limits.
This isn't just some random tool with a logo slapped on it. JD from Big Truck Big RV has spent years hauling, wrenching, and testing gear in the real world, and he only puts his name on the gear he actually uses. All BTBRV products go through the wringer before they make the cut. No BS. No gimmicks. Just reliable gear that does what it's supposed to when it matters most.

Worked easy and very well. I like being able to see my tongue weight before I hook to the truck, that way I can balance the load so it tows better and safer. I just got it, so I can't attest to longevity of the product.
I guess you get what you pay for this was a little bit more expensive a little bit larger scale, but I think it beats the Spring type that I had before. It was very inconsistent. I am well what’s the point of weighing and if you can’t trust the measurement. This one from E trailer is very stable and extremely accurate. I had about 350 pounds too much on my tongue of my trailer so I move some stuff around. Got it to be about 11%. Thank you I’ll shop here again.
Disappointing. I was hoping for a tongue weight of under 700 lbs, it was 850. I’m sure it’s the scale and not the twin fully filled propane tanks and weight distributing hitch stored in the front trailer compartment.
I’m glad I bought it. I’m a numbers guy and this is my first RV. Now I have the information for a safe tow. BTW, your scale was the only affordable one I found that did less than 100 lb increments.
I needed to have a better understanding of my campers tongue weight loaded with our regular equipment and also when we are fully loaded for a trip. Traveling to a shop with a tongue scale is not convenient. I searched on line and found the BTBRV and watched reviews. I am a big fan of SnapPad and was thrilled it came paired with one. I used it for the first time last week before our trip. The height adjustment makes it easy to get close to the tongue and in under a minute I had my weight. I checked it as the camper sits and rechecked it when fully loaded for the trip. Our tongue weight was right where it should be. I will continue to use it before every trip as our gear and supplies change based on our destination.
Set up and use was pretty straight forward. Now I need to adjust the weight distribution in my camper trailer.
Outstanding product quality. Outstanding etrailer service
Great tool for those who haul a lot of different cargo. This tool you can check your tongue weight before hitting the road. But I agree with others. The gauge would be nice if it face up.
The construction is fantastic and worked like a charm!
This product is solid, sturdy and easy to use. The on,y suggestion is to make the dial easier to see and discern the wight. It has given me greater confidence in knowing what my tongue weeght is .Perhaps enlarge the surface area of the face with larger numbers Customer service, as always with e-trailer was excellent.
Works as advertised. Was a little short for my tongue height, even fully extended. Nothing a block couldn’t fix though.
Really quality product. Easy to use and easy to store . Arrived within a week of ordering. Will recommend to others.
Used once was glad to get a correct reading. This will help in setting up new BW hitch that I can’t get set correctly or where to set the pressure so can pull the camper safely.
Having just received the product, it’s way too soon to know what the quality is at this point. Once I have an opportunity to use the product, I’ll be more than happy to score.
Great product. It is super easy to use and gives me accurate important information.
It is easy to use. The reason only 4 stars is the gauge to read is upside down so have to take a picture of it, make sure my auto rotate is off, and flip my phone to see the weight.
Easy to use and accurate
it worked, hope it is accurate.
works great easy to use
Junk. The first one arrived with broken glass. The replacement arrived with oil spilling everywhere. No damage at all to either box, which tells me it left the factory like this. etrailer was great in helping with the return. The product was a waste of two trips to UPS to return it.
