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 40LOFT's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Jayco is a volume manufacturer; 9-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
