WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~18,164 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people
dry weight 16,530 lb + fresh water (100 gal, full) 834 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 around20,185 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)20,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,851 lb (21%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 13 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 390's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

UnderbellyEnclosed
Heartland (Mixed tier): Heartland (Thor): heavily equipped laminated toy hauler with MORryde CRE3000 suspension, 7,000 lb Dexter axles and a walk-on roof, but Heartland's fit-and-finish and warranty service are inconsistent enough to keep it out of the top tier.

FINDING ONE
Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Heartland is a volume manufacturer. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
OUR TAKE
Four slides on two axles at 16,530 lb dry - very little payload left, and the reason later plans went triple-axle.
