Curt Payload Calculator | BetterWeigh™ Mobile Towing Scale
What is my payload weight? This video provides simple instructions for how to use the Payload function on the CURT BetterWeigh™ mobile towing scale. With this feature, you can get an active readout on your smartphone of the weight of your truck’s payload as you are loading cargo and materials.
The CURT BetterWeigh™ #51701 is a Bluetooth-enabled OBD2 device that wirelessly syncs with your smartphone to provide a variety of vehicle and trailer weights. This includes gross combined weight, payload and tongue weight, as well as weight distribution setup and trailer brake gain.
To measure the weight of your payload with BetterWeigh™, begin by selecting the weight readout range that best suits your vehicle. To change the readout, tap the gear icon and select Payload. Then, choose a weight range.
Next, select the Payload feature from the BetterWeigh™ app homescreen. Make sure your vehicle is parked in the spot where you intend to load it. Get out of the vehicle and tap Ready. Don’t touch the vehicle while it is taking its initial reading.
Once the pitch of the vehicle is measured, you can begin loading your truck bed and get your payload weight in real time.

Louisville Assembly Plant | On Track for Ford Fathom™ Launch
Ford Fathom™ midsize electric truck production begins at Louisville Assembly Plant next year, following a $2 billion factory retool.
Watch how the new Universal EV Production System is changing the way electric vehicles are assembled.
In late 2025, Louisville Assembly Plant went dark for a complete retool. Crews stripped out gas-vehicle tooling in the 3 million square foot facility, hauling out thousands of tons of steel until the factory floor stood empty.
What replaced it: Ford's bold and new Universal EV Production System, tearing up the traditional assembly line and re-inventing it into three parallel build paths — front clip, rear clip, and battery deck for efficiency. It's partly enabled by the use of large unicastings, where a single aluminum casting replaces dozens of stamped and welded parts in the front and rear, plus a battery deck that doubles as the vehicle's floor and serves as part of its structure.
Learn more about how the Ford team is quickly bringing this new electric vehicle production system to life ahead of the Fathom™ launch. Preorders begin early 2027.

Did AI Cause Modern Vehicle Quality Problems? Ford Thinks So..
Ford spent years pushing AI deeper into engineering and quality control, but now the company is bringing back hundreds of experienced engineers after admitting automated systems couldn't match human quality inspections.
In this video I break down the BBC and Bloomberg reports, explain what Ford executives actually said, and discuss why this matters for vehicle reliability. If companies are relying more on AI simulations and automated quality checks instead of experienced engineers, could that help explain the growing number of recalls and quality problems we've been seeing?
We also look at how Ford isn't alone. Companies like Volkswagen and GM are investing heavily in AI across engineering and manufacturing, raising an important question:
Are automakers moving too fast toward automation at the expense of real-world testing?
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Do you think AI will eventually replace engineers, or is human experience still irreplaceable?
