  • Publication number: 20250367990
    Abstract: A system that adaptively configures a cargo carrier and tow package. A vehicle includes one or more cargo connectors configurable to receive a cargo assembly, where the cargo assembly is configurable to carry or tow at least one cargo item. The system includes one or more processors and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for execution by the one or more processors. The logic when executed is operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations including receiving cargo information associated with the at least one cargo item to be coupled to the cargo assembly, verifying carrying and towing requirements of the vehicle against the cargo information, and providing cargo assembly information to a user of the vehicle, wherein the cargo assembly information comprises a type of cargo assembly and installation information.
