VIN-assisted towing lookup
Start with the exact vehicle—not a generic maximum.
Decode the VIN to identify the vehicle, then confirm the configuration-specific numbers that determine what it can actually tow.
Identify your vehicle
Enter the 17-character VIN
We use the official NHTSA decoder to identify the vehicle—not to guess its maximum tow rating.
Tow Genius does not save your VIN. It is sent to NHTSA only to identify the vehicle.
Your vehicle details will appear here.
Then Tow Genius will show which configuration details still need to be verified before calculating a towing score.
- ✓ Model year, make and model
- ✓ Body, engine and drivetrain when reported
- → Door-label and towing-package confirmation
Why verification matters
A VIN identifies the vehicle. Your labels finish the job.
Year, make, model, body style, engine, drivetrain, transmission, and vehicle type when reported by the manufacturer.
Tow package, axle ratio, payload label, receiver limits, manufacturer tables, and the trailer’s actual loaded weight.
Vehicle identity data is provided by the NHTSA Vehicle API. Tow Genius does not treat decoded identity data as a towing certification.
