Fifth wheelbuilt 2026–26Mixed build tierFindable on the used market
WHAT ONE COSTS
$36,100est. used (2026, 1 yr old)

Sticker was $50,168 in 2026. Out of production since 2026, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2026 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~8,289 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 7,055 lb + fresh water (52 gal, full) 434 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 around9,210 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)9,400 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~987 lb (12%: low, watch for sway)
Cargo capacity2,150 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 37 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 27RBSS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
