WHAT ONE COSTS
$57,300est. used (2017, 9 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~16,412 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 14,695 lb + fresh water (110 gal, full) 917 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 around18,240 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)18,820 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,362 lb (20%)
Cargo capacity4,125 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 15 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 HF39RGL's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
