WHAT ONE COSTS
$31,300est. used (2025, 1 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

dry weight 6,760 lb + fresh water (52 gal, full) 434 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~911 lb (11%)
Cargo capacity1,490 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 43 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 280BHK's published weights changed mid-run.
