WHAT ONE COSTS
$22,700est. used (2016, 10 yr old)

Sticker was $42,610 in 2016. Out of production since 2016, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2016 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~10,589 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,022 lb + fresh water (92 gal, full) 767 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 around11,770 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)12,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,800 lb (17%: high, eats payload)
Cargo capacity2,978 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 33 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 2900's published weights changed mid-run.
