Keystone Carbon 33

Fifth wheelbuilt 2017–25Mixed build tierCommon on the used market
WHAT ONE COSTS
$57,300est. used (2025, 1 yr old)

Sticker was $78,000 in 2024. Out of production since 2025, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2025 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~11,224 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,640 lb + fresh water (94 gal, full) 784 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 around12,475 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)13,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,793 lb (16%)
Cargo capacity3,360 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 26 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 33's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
