WHAT ONE COSTS
$37,800est. used (2024, 2 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~6,894 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 5,752 lb + fresh water (41 gal, full) 342 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 around7,660 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)7,748 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~897 lb (13%: low, watch for sway)
Cargo capacity1,964 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 40 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 265BH's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
