WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~17,530 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people
dry weight 16,730 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 around19,480 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)20,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,709 lb (21%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 14 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 4005's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

Heartland (Mixed tier): Cyclone is Heartland's flagship fifth-wheel toy hauler - Azdel-substrate laminated walls, welded tubular aluminum framing, a 12" I-beam steel frame and triple 7,000 lb axles are genuinely heavy-duty, but at this size and weight the QC misses (slides, plumbing, seals) show up often enough to keep it out of the top tier.
