My 2018 19 has a dry weight of 3,405 lbs, according to Escape's delivery slip. That's equipped with A/C, the oven, extra insulation, etc. The weight of options, water, propane, kitchen gear, camping gear, etc can add up quickly. I have never weighed this trailer fully loaded, but I expect it goes to 4,200 lbs, or more.
I want my tow vehicle to have plenty of extra capacity, so I don't have to worry about the weight of the gear I want to bring or the places I want to go. We usually boondock in pretty remote places, so we always depart with full water and propane. Although I do have plenty of weight capacity with my Colorado pickup, I have to watch the transmission temp towing up steep, slow grades in hot weather, and I'll be changing the transmission fluid well before the owner's manual recommends. Lots to consider, for sure!
