Highland Ridge lists the 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited MR275RLS at 7,210 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,995 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,785 lb and a tongue weight of 920 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

Among the 5 Mesa Ridge Limited floorplans Highland Ridge’s 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited flyer lists with a published dry weight, it is number 2 from the lightest, in a range from 6,180 lb (Mesa Ridge Limited MR260RLS) to 7,965 lb (Mesa Ridge Limited MR312BHS). Every figure in that comparison is Highland Ridge’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Highland Ridge’s 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited flyer, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2021.

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 (8,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,349 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Highland Ridge does not publish for the Mesa Ridge Limited MR275RLS
Highland Ridge prints no sleeping capacity 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.
05 How it compares
6,180 lb dry and 7,600 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,210 lb and 8,995 lb.
7,810 lb dry and 9,250 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,210 lb and 8,995 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 51-gallon fresh tank is about 423 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 24% of the Mesa Ridge Limited MR275RLS’s 1,785 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,362 lb. Across 5 Mesa Ridge Limited floorplans the water share runs 24% to 30%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Mesa Ridge Limited MR312BHS at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
