Heartland Trail Runner 31DB
Sticker was $46,844 in 2025. Out of production since 2025, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2025 unit.
dry weight 6,980 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.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 31DB's published weights changed mid-run.
