I have a 3124KS. I bought it used and the brochure said it was 3100 lbs I believe. I towed it home with a Lexus RX300 with a 3500 lb tow rating. You could tell that the Lexus just wasn't up to the task even on a short trip. Really straining going up the hills. The transmission started to give off an evil smell. On bumps it would bounce and the trailer would yank the car back. "Chucking" I think it's called. I stripped everything I possibly could out of the trailer and it still didn't tow well.

I bought a pickup with a 7000 lb tow rating.. Tows great. When I finally got it on the scales that trailer weighed in at 4500 lbs loaded for camping.
