WHAT ONE COSTS
$37,200est. used (2022, 4 yr old)

Sticker was $57,244 in 2021. 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
~10,615 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,198 lb + fresh water (74 gal, full) 617 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 around11,795 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)10,995 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,957 lb (18%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 26 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 28BH's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
