01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Durango Half-Ton D232MLD at 8,350 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 10,500 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,150 lb and a dry pin weight of 1,430 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 29' long and 12' 6" high with the air conditioner, with 55 gal fresh, 90 gal grey and 50 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 457 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 8 Durango Half-Ton floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 1 by unloaded weight, in a range from 8,350 lb (D232MLD) to 10,150 lb (D296BHT). Every figure in that comparison is KZ’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from KZ’s own floorplan page for the Durango Half-Ton D232MLD, whose floorplan drawing KZ labels 2027. KZ notes that its UVW reflects a rolling average for the model and that your trailer will vary with optional equipment.
How the D232MLD differs from the other seven Durango Half-Ton floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 8,350 lb: lightest of eight; next is the D230RDD (8,485 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.5%: largest of eight; next is the D250RST (20.3%).
- Dry pin weight, 1,430 lb: second-lightest of eight, between the D250RST (1,420 lb) and the D296BHT (1,575 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 2,150 lb: third-largest of eight, between the D290RLT (2,145 lb) and the D286BHD (2,180 lb).
- GVWR, 10,500 lb: lowest of eight, level with the D230RDD; next is the D250RST (10,995 lb).
- Length, 29 ft: shortest of eight, level with the D230RDD; next is the D250RST (29 ft 4 in).
- Exterior height, 12 ft 6 in: tallest of eight, level with the D230RDD and D250RST; next is the D286BHD (12 ft 5 in).
- Grey tank, 90 gal: largest of eight, level with the D256RKT and D286BHD; next are the D230RDD, D250RST and three others (50 gal).
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 17.1%: shared with the D286BHD; of eight, three smaller and three larger, nearest the D290RLT (16.3%) and the D256RKT (17.3%).
Next to the D230RDD, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the D232MLD is 135 lb lighter by dry weight, has 135 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 195 lb lighter and has a grey tank 40 gal larger; the two publish the same GVWR, length, exterior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

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 (10,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (2,625 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, 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 KZ does not publish for the D232MLD
KZ’s page prints no axle count and no price against this floorplan, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, 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.
05 How it compares
8,485 lb UVW and 10,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,350 lb and 10,500 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 21% of the D232MLD’s 2,150 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,694 lb (339 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Durango Half-Ton floorplans the water share runs 20% to 25%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Durango Half-Ton D286BHD at 21% and Durango Half-Ton D290RLT at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Durango Half-Ton D250RST, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 29 ft 0 in vs 29 ft 4 in; dry weight 8,350 lb vs 8,760 lb; GVWR 10,500 lb vs 10,995 lb; cargo capacity 2,150 lb vs 2,235 lb; hitch weight 1,430 lb vs 1,420 lb; grey tank 90 gal vs 50 gal. They match on sleeps, fresh tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 17 recall campaigns and 10 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Durango line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
What to look at on a used one. Across the 10 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (50%), tires (20%) and suspension (10%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Durango line page.
