Abstract
A trailed vehicle comprises a cargo area, a wheeled axle assembly supporting the cargo area, a hitch assembly configured to secure the trailed vehicle to a tow vehicle, and a weight sensing system comprising a weight processing module and a user interface. The weight processing module comprises a processor and non-transitory computer readable storage comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the weight processing module to execute an axle-specific vehicle weight determination, an axle-specific vehicle weight display presented at the user interface, a hitch-specific vehicle weight determination, a hitch-specific vehicle weight display presented at the user interface, a hitch-specific weight percentage determination, a hitch-specific weight percentage display presented at the user interface, a total weight determination, a total weight display presented at the user interface, an available cargo weight determination, and an available cargo weight display presented at the user interface. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
