2027 Highland Ridge Colt33TSB

The Colt 33TSB leaves Highland Ridge's factory at 9,080 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 11,400 lbs and 2,320 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 20% of the loaded rating, and Highland Ridge's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 52-gallon fresh tank spends 432 lbs of that 2,320 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Dry tongue weight is 1,125 lbs, or 12% of the dry weight. Ten to fifteen percent is the conventional band for a bumper-pull trailer, and this plan sits inside it as published. Tongue weight is not fixed: it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A weight-distribution hitch is the normal fitment at this tongue load, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit.

Tank capacities are 52 gallons fresh, 39 grey and 39 black, 78 gallons of waste capacity against 52 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Highland Ridge publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Colt roster this is the 21st of 21 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,550 lbs to 9,080 lbs. It is the heaviest plan in the line, so the tow vehicle should be settled before the floorplan is. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read the pair of weights is to stop planning against the dry figure. Nobody tows a trailer at 9,080 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity, which is modest for a family trip, and this plan is already near 10,240 lbs on the road. Compare that number against the tow vehicle, not the dry weight, and leave margin on top of it - the published GVWR of 11,400 lbs is a limit rather than a target.

Every number above was read from Highland Ridge's own factory page for this floorplan. It was read once, from that page only, so there is no second factory listing to check it against. Dry weight plus cargo capacity also equals the published GVWR exactly, which is the arithmetic check this site runs on every profiled floorplan. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Highland Ridge does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

Highland Ridge publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 33TSB is a Colt designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 33TSB differs from the other twenty Colt floorplans. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2027); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.

• Length, 39 ft 11 in: longest of 21; next is the 33RLT (37 ft 10 in).
• Tongue weight, 1,125 lb: second-heaviest of 21, between the 32DSB (995 lb) and the 33RLT (1,130 lb).
• Sleeping capacity, 9: second-largest of five, between the 26RCS and 28RLD (6) and the 32DSB (12).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.4%: fifth-smallest of 21, between the 28RLD (20.1%) and the 27BPS (20.6%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.4%: seventh-largest of 21, between the 27BPS (12%) and the 32DSB (12.9%).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 7 in: shared with the 26RCS and 33RLT; of 21, seventeen lower and one taller, nearest the 21RBS, 22MDS and two others (10 ft 6 in) and the 28RLD (10 ft 8 in).

Next to the 33RLT (2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 33TSB is 375 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 800 lb higher, has 425 lb more cargo capacity, is 2 ft 1 in longer and has a grey tank 32.5 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Nineteen Colt floorplans with a full factory record for 2027. They run 2,550 lb to 9,080 lb dry across 16' 1" to 39' 11" of exterior length, with cargo capacity of 920 lb to 2,320 lb and tongue weights of 235 lb to 1,125 lb. Every one publishes a GVWR, 3,500 lb to 11,400 lb, and dry weight plus cargo capacity equals it exactly.

A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 19% of the 33TSB’s 2,320 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,888 lb (210 lb per rated berth). Across 21 Colt floorplans the water share runs 19% to 28%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Colt 28DBS at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

Closest sibling: the Colt 33RLT, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 39 ft 11 in vs 37 ft 10 in; dry weight 9,080 lb vs 8,705 lb; GVWR 11,400 lb vs 10,600 lb; cargo capacity 2,320 lb vs 1,895 lb; hitch weight 1,125 lb vs 1,130 lb; grey tank 39 gal vs 71.5 gal. They match on fresh tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Colt 33RLT is 800 lb lighter (10,600 lb GVWR).

All 21 Colt floorplans: Colt line hub.

Against the 33TSB: the Nightfall 24N is 10 ft shorter; the Sandstorm 2513 is 10 ft shorter; the Alpha Wolf 33RL is 5 lb lighter.
