KZ Ridgeway 27RK

Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $48,000.

dry weight 8,830 lb + fresh water (76 gal, full) 634 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 27RK's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

These verdicts assume 2 people aboard with typical gear. See the margin for your truck and your crew →

A missing row means the maker never published that figure: unknown, not zero.

KZ (Mixed tier): Ridgeway is KZ's newest fifth wheel (Thor Industries), launched for 2025 to sit above Durango. The spec sheet is genuinely upper-tier — aluminum-framed laminated sidewalls over Azdel composite on a powder-coated steel I-beam chassis, a walk-on Tufflex PVC roof with a lifetime warranty, heated and enclosed underbelly with in-floor heated PEX, dual 13.5K A/Cs standard and KZ's two-year hitch-to-bumper warranty. It is too new to have an owner track record, and KZ's history of uneven assembly is the reason it sits in the middle rather than at the top.

• 2025Introduced with the Ridgeway line
• 2026Dry hitch weight 1,500 to 1,410 lb

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: KZ is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

The short Ridgeway — rear kitchen, two slides, 11,500 lb GVWR, the one a well-equipped half-ton or a 3/4-ton can pull.
