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
~5,687 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 4,570 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 around6,320 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)7,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,070 lb (19% — high, eats payload)
Cargo capacity2,430 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 67 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 220THR's published weights held steady.

HOW IT'S BUILT — 4/5
WallsLaminated fiberglass
FrameAluminum
RoofWalk-on
UnderbellyEnclosed

KZ (Mixed tier): KZ's toy hauler line (Thor Industries), sold as Sportsmen Sportster through 2016, Sportster/Sportster 100 from 2017, and Sportster X since 2025. Construction is mid-pack for the segment — aluminum-framed laminated fiberglass walls, a 3/8" walk-on roof and a heated, enclosed underbelly — with a Tuff Ply garage floor and diamond-plate wall protection that hold up well. KZ's assembly quality is uneven unit to unit, which is why it lands in the middle rather than at the top.

YEAR BY YEAR — WHAT CHANGED

FINDING ONE

Findable — a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: KZ is a volume manufacturer; only one model year. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The 229TH renamed; twin roll-over sofas flanking the garage make it sleep six with the optional power bed.
