Towing Calculator
I created a towing calculator in excel and have been using it to fuss around with stuff. I am versioning it, so if anyone sees any mistakes I might have made, I can correct it.I attached the xls sheet.
It is very basic, please double check your math and towing information, before you attempt to tow something.

- All bold Column B fields are calculations, feel free to adjust any non-bold items for your vehicle and what you are towing.
- The Buffers (in red) list how much of a buffer you have for vehicle payload, towing, and hitch.
- If any Buffers are a negative number, then you can't tow it.
- The closer the Buffer number is to zero, the less margin for error you have and less "safe" it is.

that's the max payload available for that configuration. Every truck has a different payload specific to it's options. The truck-specific PL is listed on a yellow sticker on the driver's door jamb.
