Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Gulf Stream’s own Trail Boss model pages on gulfstreamcoach.com (no model year stated) for the Trail Boss 140BH, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 140BH differs from the other four Trail Boss floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 2,510 lb: second-heaviest of five, between the 170RQ (2,410 lb) and the 150RD (2,910 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,330 lb: second-smallest of five, between the 150RD (1,020 lb) and the 170RQ (1,450 lb).
- Tongue weight, 340 lb: second-heaviest of five, between the 160FK (320 lb) and the 170RQ (360 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.5%: second-smallest of five, between the 150RD (10.3%) and the 170RQ (14.9%).
- Length, 18 ft 2 in: longest of five, level with the 170RQ; next is the 150RD (15 ft 10 in).
- Exterior height, 9 ft 2 in: shared with the 170RQ; of five, one lower and two taller, nearest the 109OK (8 ft 2 in) and the 160FK (9 ft 8 in).
