WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~12,697 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 11,280 lb + fresh water (74 gal, full) 617 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 around14,110 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)13,995 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,251 lb (18%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 19 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 324MBS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
