WHAT ONE COSTS
$86,700est. used (2017, 9 yr old)

Sticker was $101,300 in 2017. Out of production since 2017, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2017 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~7,572 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 6,322 lb + fresh water (54 gal, full) 450 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around8,415 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)8,800 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,054 lb (14%)
Cargo capacity2,478 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 46 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 30's published weights changed mid-run.
