01 What makes it unique

Highland Ridge lists the 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited MR331BHS at 7,955 lb dry, a GVWR of 9,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,545 lb and a tongue weight of 900 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 37' 5" long and 11' 4" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 51 gal fresh, 58 gal grey, 58 gal black.

Among the 5 Mesa Ridge Limited floorplans Highland Ridge’s 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited flyer lists with a published dry weight, it is number 4 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.

  • Exterior height, 11 ft 4 in: tallest of five; next are the MR275RLS, MR312BHS and MR313RLS (11 ft 3 in).

  • Dry weight, 7,955 lb: second-heaviest of five, between the MR313RLS (7,810 lb) and the MR312BHS (7,965 lb).
  • GVWR, 9,500 lb: second-highest of five, between the MR313RLS (9,250 lb) and the MR312BHS (9,735 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 16.3%: second-smallest of five, between the MR313RLS (15.6%) and the MR312BHS (18.2%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.3%: second-smallest of five, between the MR313RLS (10.4%) and the MR260RLS (11.6%).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,545 lb: third-smallest of five, between the MR313RLS (1,440 lb) and the MR312BHS (1,770 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 900 lb: third-lightest of five, between the MR313RLS (810 lb) and the MR275RLS (920 lb).

Towing it

Tow rating needed9,500 lb
Published tongue weight900 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb950–1,425 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed9,500 lb towed / 1,425 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (9,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,425 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Highland Ridge does not publish for the Mesa Ridge Limited MR331BHS

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.
