WHAT ONE COSTS
price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~7,607 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 6,473 lb + fresh water (40 gal, full) 334 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 around8,455 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)7,973 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~758 lb (10% — low, watch for sway)
Cargo capacity1,500 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 46 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 25MLB's published weights held steady.
