GVWR (the sticker maximum)9,600 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,971 lb (22%)

WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 36 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 250RD's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
