01 What makes the 2023 331BTS different
The Jay Flight 331BTS is one of Jayco's Jay Flight travel trailers, the mass-market nameplate and the volume seller in Jayco's towable range.
Across the 3 model years of the 331BTS on this site (2023 to 2025), the 2023 record has the lightest dry weight, 8,465 lbs; the lowest GVWR, 9,995 lbs (level with 2024); cargo capacity 1,530 lbs, between 1,360 lbs (2024) and 1,720 lbs (2025); the lightest dry tongue weight, 1,085 lbs; the same exterior length as every other year that publishes one (37' 10").
Against the 2024 331BTS, the next model year on this site, 9 of the 20 fields both records publish differ: dry weight 8,465 lbs to 8,635 lbs (+170 lb); cargo capacity 1,530 lbs to 1,360 lbs (-170 lb); dry tongue weight 1,085 lbs to 1,210 lbs (+125 lb); width with slides out 13' 1" to 11' 0" (-25 in); exterior height 10' 6" to 10' 7" (+1 in); fresh tank 40.0 gal to 52.0 gal (+12 gal); grey tank 71.5 gal to 39.0 gal (-32.5 gal); black tank 39.0 gal to 32.5 gal (-6.5 gal); optional propane 50 lbs to 60 lbs (+10 lb).
Among the 31 Jayco Jay Flight travel trailers with a 2023 page on this site, the 331BTS is 5th heaviest of 31 by dry weight; 6th highest of 31 by GVWR; 15th largest of 31 by cargo capacity; joint 3rd longest of 31 by exterior length. By dry weight, the lightest is the 154BH at 2,810 lbs and the heaviest is the 34RSBS at 8,780 lbs.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

Towing it
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 What changed for the 2023 model year
2023 is the earliest model year of the 331BTS on this site, so there is no earlier record to set it against. Section 01 compares it with 2024.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Dry tongue | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 8,465 | 9,995 | 1,085 | 8 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2024 | 8,635 | 9,995 | 1,210 | 8 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2025 | 8,680 | 10,400 | 1,235 | 12 | ST225/75R15'E' |

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2023 model page for this floorplan (how sources are handled).
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2023
For this model year the factory record has no auto-ignition furnace. Those rows read “Not published” and are not filled in from another year.
04 Buying a 2023 331BTS at 3 model years old
Its age, and the date on its label
A 2023 331BTS is 3 model years old in 2026. Its build month is on the certification label (49 CFR 567.4(g)(2)), not in the model year.
Tires: size and date code
Jayco lists ST225/75R15'E' as the 2023 factory tire size. Read the four-digit date code at the end of each tire's identification number, spare included (49 CFR 574.5(b)(3)).
NHTSA record for model year 2023
For model year 2023, NHTSA's files hold 1 recall campaign under the Jayco Jay Flight name (see Jayco Jay Flight year by year). Campaigns by component: Structure (22V571000). They are filed against the line, not this floorplan alone.
