GVWR (the sticker maximum)12,040 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,121 lb (19%)
Cargo capacity2,372 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 23 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 3250SUITE's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
