The record at the top of this page is the 262RL from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 262RL, and that year is printed here: 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.
