WHAT ONE COSTS
$26,400est. used (2024, 2 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

GVWR (the sticker maximum)7,695 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~761 lb (10%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 49 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 260RB's published weights held steady.
