Abstract
A trailed vehicle is provided comprising a plurality of operational components, at least one weight-sensing component, a body control module, a weight processing module, and an interface device comprising memory, a hardware processor coupled to the memory, a user interface, and a display. The user interface comprises user prompts for (i) associating particular operational components with the trailed vehicle and (ii) associating a particular weight-related parameter with the trailed vehicle. The weight processing module, the weight-sensing component, and the user interface are structured to generate an indication of vehicle weight at the user interface. The indication of vehicle weight is at least partially dependent upon the particular weight-related parameter associated with the trailed vehicle at the user interface. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
