Travel trailerbuilt 2021–24Mixed build tierCommon on the used market
WHAT ONE COSTS
$24,600est. used (2024, 2 yr old)

Sticker was $32,123 in 2021. Out of production since 2024, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2024 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~5,747 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 4,613 lb + fresh water (40 gal, full) 334 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 around6,390 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)7,510 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~635 lb (11%)
Cargo capacity2,897 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 67 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 20BHS's published weights held steady.
