WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~10,999 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,765 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 around12,225 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)11,600 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,016 lb (18%)
Cargo capacity1,835 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 23 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 29RLCS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
