Will BetterWeigh Mobile Tongue Weight Scale Work on Vehicle with Aftermarket Modifications

Question:

Hello, My 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser has after market suspension and larger tires. Will this effect the accuracy of the BetterWeigh? Would I be better off buying your Sherline Trailer Tongue Weight Scale instead? Thanks,

I reached out to my contact at Curt regarding the Mobile Tongue Wight and Payload Scale # C51701 and he said the aftermarket suspension and larger-than-stock tires on your FJ Cruiser will not present any issues. The BetterWeigh does plug into the OBD-II port to read vehicle data but it can be manually calibrated to account for aftermarket components like what you have. This will allow it to give you accurate readings based on your specific vehicle configuration.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.
