A power steering system (52) for an off-road vehicle (10) includes an electric assisted power steering (EPS) unit (102) controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) (108) for adding and subtracting torque to a rotatable steering column (54). At least one sensor (36a, 38a, 152a, 162a, 170) is configured to sense at least one of pressure, proximity, strain, and displacement in at least one component or attachment of the vehicle (10). The EPS unit (102) ECU (108) may be connected to the sensor (36a, 38a, 152a, 162a, 170) by way of an ISOBUS or CANbus network (40), and is configured to use information from the sensor (36a, 38a, 152a, 162a, 170) to determine a weight distribution of the vehicle (10). The ECU (108) controls the EPS unit (102) to adjust the torque of the rotatable steering column (54) as a function of the weight distribution of the vehicle (10).
