A vehicle guidance system includes a location determining component for determining locations of the vehicle a weight sensor for sensing a weight associated with the vehicle a steering actuator for steering at least one wheel of the vehicle and a computing device in communication with the location determining component, the weight sensor, and the steering actuator. The computing device receives cartographic data representative of a desired path for the vehicle, receives location information from the location determining component, controls operation of the steering actuator in order to guide the vehicle along the desired path, and adjusts a steering parameter at least partially based on the weight sensed by the weight sensor.
