WHAT ONE COSTS
$51,900est. used (2026, 1 yr old)

Sticker was $72,060 in 2026. Out of production since 2026, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2026 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~10,143 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 8,893 lb + fresh water (54 gal, full) 450 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 around11,270 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)11,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,859 lb (18%)
Cargo capacity2,107 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 29 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 29RLI's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
