WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~11,596 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 10,170 lb + fresh water (75 gal, full) 626 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

Tongue weight, loaded~2,030 lb (18%)

WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 20 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 284RLS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
