WHAT ONE COSTS
$38,200est. used (2019, 7 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~11,517 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,833 lb + fresh water (106 gal, full) 884 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 around12,800 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)13,300 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,856 lb (16%)
Cargo capacity3,645 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 22 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 HT31RGR's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
