WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 19 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 405T's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

OUR TAKE

Heaviest and priciest Talon — 16,999 lb GVWR leaves only about 4,000 lb of cargo despite the three slides.
