Palomino Solaire 163X
Sticker was $28,421 in 2021. Out of production since 2021, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2021 unit.
dry weight 3,633 lb + fresh water (44 gal, full) 367 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 163X's published weights changed mid-run.
