WHAT ONE COSTS
$61,900est. used (2023, 3 yr old)

Sticker was $99,928 in 2023. Out of production since 2023, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2023 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~13,222 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 11,872 lb + fresh water (66 gal, full) 550 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 around14,695 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)15,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,868 lb (22%)
Cargo capacity3,128 lb
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 312RS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
