01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2016 MXT CRC170 at 4,340 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,660 lb and a tongue weight of 230 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 29' 3" long and 10' 8" high. KZ prints its tanks as 50 gal fresh, 32 gal grey, 32 gal black.

Among the 8 MXT floorplans KZ’s MXT brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 2 from the lightest, in a range from 4,270 lb (MXT MXT200) to 8,670 lb (MXT MXT3192). 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 MXT brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2016 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

How the CRC170 differs from the other seven MXT floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight, 230 lb: lightest of eight; next is the CRC210KS (308 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 5.3%: smallest of eight; next is the CRC210KS (5.9%).
  • Fresh tank, 50 gal: smallest of eight; next are the CRC210KS, MXT200 and MXT2920 (58 gal).
  • Dry weight, 4,340 lb: second-lightest of eight, between the MXT200 (4,270 lb) and the CRC210KS (5,188 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 38%: second-largest of eight, between the CRC210KS (34.7%) and the MXT200 (39%).
  • Length, 29 ft 3 in: second-shortest of eight, between the MXT200 (25 ft 3 in) and the MXT2920 (32 ft 8 in).
  • Cargo capacity, 2,660 lb: fourth-largest of eight, between the MXT3090 (2,440 lb) and the MXT200 (2,730 lb).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 8 in: fourth-lowest of eight, between the CRC210KS (10 ft 7 in) and the MXT2920 (12 ft 1 in).
  • GVWR, 7,000 lb: lowest of eight, level with the MXT200; next is the CRC210KS (7,940 lb).
  • Interior height, 6 ft 6 in: lowest of eight, level with the CRC210KS, MXT200 and MXT3030; next are the MXT2920, MXT3090 and two others (8 ft).

Next to the MXT200, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the CRC170 is 70 lb heavier by dry weight, has 70 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 330 lb lighter, is 4 ft longer, stands 3 in taller and has a fresh tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, interior height, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the CRC210KS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the CRC170 is 848 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 940 lb lower, has 92 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 78 lb lighter, is 3 ft 7 in shorter, stands 1 in taller and has a fresh tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same interior height, grey tank and black tank.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What KZ does not publish for the MXT CRC170

KZ 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

Heavier
KZ MXT CRC210KS

5,188 lb dry and 7,940 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,340 lb and 7,000 lb.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 50-gallon fresh tank is about 415 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 16% of the MXT CRC170’s 2,660 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,245 lb. Across 8 MXT floorplans the water share runs 16% to 42%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: MXT CRC210KS at 17%. 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

Closest sibling: the MXT CRC210KS, nearest on the published figures.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

12 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the MXT CRC170. Not published: sleeps, slide count, axle count, refrigerator, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

Sourcing rules: methodology.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 2 recall campaigns against the MXT line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the MXT line page.

Owner’s manuals

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.

Earlier model years

The record at the top of this page is the CRC170 from 2016. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the CRC170, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2014 to 2015. 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.

Source for 2015. Printed in KZ RV’s MXT brochure (www.kz-rv.com). The document itself prints no model year; KZ RV files it under 2015 in its own brochure folder. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the printed GVWR exactly (4,340 + 2,660 = 7,000 lb). Nothing in this record is copied from another model year.

NHTSA record for 2015 MXT

1 recall campaign filed with NHTSA names the MXT for model year 2015:

  • 16V823000 (reported 15 Nov 2016): Equipment

No owner complaint filed with NHTSA names the MXT for model year 2015. NHTSA files recalls and complaints by line and model year, not by floorplan, so a campaign listed here may not affect every MXT floorplan; the recall notice says which units it covers.

No recall campaign in NHTSA’s files names the MXT for model year 2014.
