Took an update for the FordPass app today and noticed in the release notes a new feature called “Can I tow this?”. Turns out Ford’s added a towing and payload calculator to the app, and the vehicle values in it are specific to the VIN!
Can’t say the UI design is particularly great, but it is functional. They also use the low end of tongue/pin weight, with no option to set a manual percentage. They use 10% for conventional and 15% for both gooseneck and fifth wheel.
I do like that they have a page for definitions and instructions. Helps walk people through it.
To get to it in the app, go to Vehicle -> Features and Settings -> Can I tow this?
