01 What makes it unique
Heartland lists the 2025 Torque 316 at 11,479 lb dry, a GVWR of 16,675 lb and a net carrying capacity of 5,148 lb. It prints no pin weight for it. Heartland’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 11,479 lb dry plus 5,148 lb carrying capacity is 16,627 lb, against a printed GVWR of 16,675 lb. All three are shown as Heartland prints them and none is corrected; the federal label on the trailer is the one to trust.
It is 36' 2 3/8" long and 13' 3" high. Heartland prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 5 Torque floorplans Heartland’s 2025 Torque brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 1 from the lightest, in a range from 11,479 lb (Torque 316) to 15,017 lb (Torque 424). Every figure in that comparison is Heartland’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Heartland’s 2025 Torque brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2025.
How the 316 differs from the other four Torque floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 11,479 lb: lightest of five; next is the 385 (13,732 lb).
- GVWR, 16,675 lb: lowest of five; next is the 371 (17,000 lb).
- Length, 36 ft 2 in: shortest of five; next is the 371 (42 ft 11 in).
- Cargo capacity, 5,148 lb: second-smallest of five, between the 371 (2,807 lb) and the 385 and 424 (5,935 lb).
Next to the 385, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 316 is 2,253 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 915 lb lower, has 787 lb less cargo capacity and is 7 ft 3 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Heartland does not publish for the Torque 316
Heartland prints no pin weight, tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank 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
13,732 lb dry and 17,590 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,479 lb and 16,675 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
Cargo capacity on the Torque 316 is 5,148 lb.
No source publishes a pin weight for the Torque 316, so its hitch load has to come from a scale ticket taken with the trailer hitched.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Torque 385, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 5 fields both publish (this plan first): length 36 ft 2 in vs 43 ft 5 in; sleeps 6 vs 8; dry weight 11,479 lb vs 13,732 lb; GVWR 16,675 lb vs 17,590 lb; cargo capacity 5,148 lb vs 5,935 lb.
