WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~13,597 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 12,255 lb + fresh water (65 gal, full) 542 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 around15,110 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)16,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,624 lb (19%)
Cargo capacity3,697 lb
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 3155RLK's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
