01 What makes it unique
Bean Trailer lists the Bean Squared at 3,500 lb dry, a GVWR of 5,000 lb and a tongue weight of 400 lb. Bean Trailer prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 16' long. Bean Trailer prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 5 Bean Trailer floorplans Bean Trailer’s specification page on beantrailer.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 5 from the lightest, in a range from 1,200 lb (Bean Stock 2.0) to 3,500 lb (Bean Squared). Every figure in that comparison is Bean Trailer’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Bean Trailer’s own specification page on beantrailer.com (no model year stated) for the Bean Squared, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the Squared differs from the other four Bean Trailer floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (5,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (750 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
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).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Bean Trailer does not publish for the Bean Squared
Bean Trailer prints no cargo carrying capacity, grey-tank, black-tank for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
