WHAT ONE COSTS
$57,000est. used (2023, 3 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~13,851 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people
dry weight 12,517 lb + fresh water (64 gal, full) 534 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 around15,390 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)15,300 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,839 lb (21%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 19 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 VL3851FL's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
