WHAT ONE COSTS

$57,500est. used (2020, 6 yr old)

Sticker was $93,481 in 2020. Out of production since 2020, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2020 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

~14,912 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 13,336 lb + fresh water (93 gal, full) 776 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 around16,570 lb (10% margin)

GVWR (the sticker maximum)16,800 lb

Tongue weight, loaded~3,046 lb (20%)

WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 19 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 385GK's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
