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.

Power your home when the grid goes down using your Ford truck.
Your Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid (7.2kw) or F-150 Lightning (9.6kw) with the 240V Pro Power Onboard outlet can do more than get you where you're going — it can help keep hardwired essential appliances in your home running during a power outage. Paired with a GenerLink transfer switch, GenerLok cord, and Ford Vehicle Connector, your truck becomes a powerful backup power source.
In this video, we walk you through every step:
✅ Confirming a power outage
✅ Positioning your vehicle safely near your electric meter
✅ Turning off your main breaker and circuits
✅ Connecting the GenerLok cord to your GenerLink transfer switch
✅ Attaching the Ford Vehicle Connector to your truck's 240V Pro Power Onboard outlet
✅ Activating Pro Power Onboard from your truck's touchscreen or Ford app
✅ Safely restoring power to essential circuits
✅ Monitoring your home's wattage and fuel/battery level in real time
⚠️ Before you start: A GenerLink transfer switch must be professionally installed by a licensed electrician or your utility company prior to use.
⚠️ Safety first: Always follow the safety guidelines included with your GenerLink system and your F-150 owner's manual. Only operate your vehicle outdoors.
