Methodology & sources

MotorTally publishes vehicle spec lookup pages that are designed to be useful before a part purchase, tow setup, or maintenance task. The pages show the spec, the context, and the verification step that still belongs to the owner or technician.

How we build lookup pages

We show lookup context

A useful vehicle spec page should explain what the value means, where it applies, and what else must be checked before buying parts or towing.

We separate fitment from reference data

A matching bolt pattern, tire size, or towing number is not a guarantee. Center bore, offset, trim, drivetrain, payload, hitch class, and owner-manual limits still matter.

We grow coverage from data tables

Vehicle pages are generated from structured make/model/year datasets so new models, years, and spec families can be added without rewriting pages by hand.

We label verification gaps

When a data point is a planning reference or a range, we tell visitors to confirm against the door-jamb sticker, owner manual, or manufacturer documentation.

Tool-by-tool source notes

Tool Source basis Known limits
Bolt pattern Vehicle fitment tables and pattern-group lookups. Wheel fitment still depends on center bore, offset, brake clearance, load rating, hardware, and trim-specific changes.
Towing capacity Model-level towing references and loaded-trailer safety checks. Real towing depends on drivetrain, axle ratio, payload, hitch, brakes, tongue weight, cargo, passengers, and owner-manual limits.
Tire size Factory tire size tables by make, model, and year. Trim, wheel package, load index, speed rating, and door-jamb sticker are the final reference for a specific vehicle.
Oil capacity Engine oil capacity and viscosity tables by vehicle family where available. Oil fill depends on engine code, filter change, market, and owner-manual procedure; confirm the exact fill against the service guide.

FAQ

Can MotorTally guarantee a part will fit?

No. MotorTally provides reference lookups. Always confirm fitment against your specific vehicle, part manufacturer, owner manual, or a qualified technician.

How do I report a wrong vehicle spec?

Send the page URL, vehicle year/make/model/trim, the value shown, the expected value, and a manufacturer or owner-manual source.
