KZ lists the 2023 Escape E20 HATCH at 3,560 lb dry, a GVWR of 4,400 lb, a net carrying capacity of 840 lb and a tongue weight of 540 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

Among the 10 Escape floorplans KZ’s 2023 Escape brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 4 from the lightest, in a range from 3,320 lb (Escape E17 HATCH) to 4,170 lb (Escape E231BH). 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 2023 Escape brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2023.

KZ’s 2023 Escape brochure lists 10 Escape floorplans; every one with a printed weight has a page here.

A full 20-gallon fresh tank is about 166 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the Escape E20 HATCH’s 840 lb cargo capacity, leaving 674 lb (168 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Escape floorplans the water share runs 17% to 33%, and 8 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Escape E211RB at 17% and Escape E231BH at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

The maker’s own owner’s manual for each model year on this page, linked where the maker publishes it. Each link goes to the maker’s file, labelled as the maker labels it; a year with no manual of its own is not filled from another year.

The record at the top of this page is the E20 HATCH from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the E20 HATCH, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2021 to 2022. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
