Apparatus and methods are disclosed for a vehicle tow capacity estimator. An example disclosed vehicle includes memory and a processor. The example memory stores first and second acceleration profiles and a degradation factor table. The example processor, when a load is connected to the vehicle, determines a third acceleration profile and calculates a tow capacity ratio based on the first, second, and third acceleration profile, and a degradation factor. Additionally, the example processor, in response to the tow capacity ratio not satisfying a tow threshold, provides a warning.
