WHAT ONE COSTS
$50,100est. used (2023, 3 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~10,321 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 8,845 lb + fresh water (81 gal, full) 676 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 around11,470 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)10,995 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,007 lb (19%)
Cargo capacity2,150 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 28 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 27RS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

Jayco (Mixed tier): Jayco's half-ton-friendly fifth wheel: Stronghold VBL laminated sidewalls, aluminium framing, a 5in Magnum Truss roof and Climate Shield insulation, with most plans deliberately held near a 9,995lb GVWR. Retired after 2026 when Jayco folded the range into Eagle and Eagle SLE.
