WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~11,295 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 10,300 lb + fresh water (54 gal, full) 450 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb (capped at its own rating). Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around12,550 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)11,295 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,250 lb (11%: low, watch for sway)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 22 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 342BHTS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
