WHAT ONE COSTS

$29,800est. used (2018, 8 yr old)

Sticker was $50,925 in 2017. Out of production since 2018, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2018 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

~9,247 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 7,980 lb + fresh water (56 gal, full) 467 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 around10,275 lb (10% margin)

GVWR (the sticker maximum)10,560 lb

Tongue weight, loaded~1,899 lb (21%)

Cargo capacity2,580 lb

WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 35 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 262RLX's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
