WHAT ONE COSTS
$24,600est. used (2015, 11 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~10,740 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,940 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 around11,935 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)13,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,242 lb (21%)
Cargo capacity3,060 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 25 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 29RKSA's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
