Fifth wheelbuilt 2016–25Mixed build tierCommon on the used market
WHAT ONE COSTS
$40,400est. used (2025, 1 yr old)

Sticker was $56,100 in 2025. Out of production since 2025, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2025 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~7,097 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 5,930 lb + fresh water (44 gal, full) 367 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 around7,890 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)7,710 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~850 lb (12%: low, watch for sway)
Cargo capacity1,748 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 43 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 291QB's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
