WHAT ONE COSTS
$25,300est. used (2017, 9 yr old)

Sticker was $44,325 in 2016. Out of production since 2017, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2017 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~9,659 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 8,254 lb + fresh water (72.6 gal, full) 605 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

GVWR (the sticker maximum)10,250 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,995 lb (21%: high, eats payload)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 33 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 276RKS's published weights held steady.
