2015-2017 Force 37BH - Dry weight?

Hi All, We are looking at a 2015-2017 Force 37BH (6.7 cummins). I am trying to figure out what it can actually tow but can't seem to find the dry weight of these rigs anywhere. Does anyone know what the dry weight for a 37BH is?

Thanks in advance!

I'd bet it's in the 24k range give or take

From a weight receipt for the 2016 Force 37BH we recently sold:

Steer axle 8300 lbs.
Drive axle 17040 lbs.

Jeep JKU 4600 lbs.

The RV had full fuel and water tanks, roughly 1/2 full grey and black tanks, 2 people and usual stuff on board.

We pulled the Jeep with no problems.

Ok so maybe the dry weight is around 21k-23k? After running some numbers we might be pushing it or real close to the limit. I think the 6.7 will handle our load but the concern is safety, insurance and going over the 33k GCWR.

Our load...
6900lbs - Suburban
600lbs - 2 adults and 4 kids
216lbs - 6 solar panels @ 36lbs each
300lbs - 4 inflatable kayaks
1500lbs - Clothes and stuff

Actually we were talking in another post about the weight. He didn't have the dry weight written down.

As a former Force owner, I do not think that you would be happy in a Force towing the Suburban. It would be embarrassing to make the wife and kids get out and walk up any steep grades. And even more so when they beat you to the top. You should really move up to the Force HD.

LMAO! Yes, that would be embarrassing. Two questions for the forum...

1. Has anyone done a DEF delete with an OFF ROAD dynamax HD or DX3?
2. Do you think a dealer will sell me a 2019 or 2020 Dynamax HD 37BH for 45% off of listed MSRP for a cash buyer? Hopefully this doesn't get me in trouble by talking about pricing. If it does maybe someone could point me to another forum to talk about pricing and what to expect. I would prefer used but there doesn't seem to be very many in the used market. Or maybe someone could PM me directly about it. Thanks in advance!

Dynamax is not really keeping up with demand so very doubtful. I got like 33% off sticker and feel like I did pretty well. Have not heard of many doing that as of late outside of a couple special instances where somebody special orders then walks away and it sits on the lot. But I guess anything is possible if you're patient
