Travel trailerbuilt 2017–18Mixed build tierFindable on the used market
WHAT ONE COSTS
$21,700est. used (2018, 8 yr old)

Sticker was $36,287 in 2018 — out of production since 2018, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2018 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~8,797 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 7,680 lb + fresh water (38 gal, full) 317 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 around9,775 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)8,800 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~802 lb (9% — low, watch for sway)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 38 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 323BHK's published weights changed mid-run.

KZ (Mixed tier): KZ sits at the better end of the value tier: metal-sided stick construction like its budget rivals, but a 3/8" walk-on Tufflex roof, a standard enclosed and heated underbelly, and a 2-year hitch-to-bumper warranty put it a clear step above Hideout, Springdale or Salem FSX.
