$16,700est. used (2018, 8 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

~7,250 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 6,155 lb + fresh water (48 gal, full) 400 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb (capped at its own rating). Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

Tongue weight, loaded~767 lb (11%)

WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 52 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 26RLS's published weights changed mid-run.
