Weight sensors (scales) are configured to weigh cargo of a vehicle. The sensors can include transducers that convert input forces to electrical output signals. A vehicle control manager (which can be part of the vehicle computer system) receives the signals which represent measured weights. The vehicle control manager controls a display preferably on or near the dashboard that graphically shows, for example, the maximum weight for that truck, the current total weight in the bed, and where the weight is distributed in the bed. The information displayed can be indicated using a graphical illustration of a truck bed or the like.
