WHAT ONE COSTS
$45,600est. used (2022, 4 yr old)

Sticker was $76,067 in 2022. Out of production since 2022, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2022 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~12,012 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 10,803 lb + fresh water (49 gal, full) 409 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 around13,350 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)14,005 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,229 lb (19%)
Cargo capacity3,202 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 20 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 3880SUITE's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
