WHAT ONE COSTS

$67,500est. used (2019, 7 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

~17,804 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 16,170 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 around19,785 lb (10% margin)

GVWR (the sticker maximum)20,000 lb

Tongue weight, loaded~4,008 lb (23%)

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 429'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

13'-4" garage with washer/dryer prep; GVWR was left blank on the surviving Heartland page, so 20,000 lb is read across from its triple-axle siblings.
