WHAT ONE COSTS
$94,200est. used (2024, 2 yr old)

Sticker was $121,267 in 2023 — out of production since 2024, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2024 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~15,227 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 13,885 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 around16,920 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)16,500 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,169 lb (21%)
Cargo capacity2,615 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 18 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 3900MO's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
