01 What makes it unique
Heartland lists the 2025 Torque 385 at 13,732 lb dry, a GVWR of 17,590 lb and a net carrying capacity of 5,935 lb. It prints no pin weight for it. Heartland’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 13,732 lb dry plus 5,935 lb carrying capacity is 19,667 lb, against a printed GVWR of 17,590 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 43' 5-5/16" 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 2 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 385 differs from the other four Torque floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 13,732 lb: second-lightest of five, between the 316 (11,479 lb) and the 371 (14,145 lb).
- GVWR, 17,590 lb: third-lowest of five, between the 371 (17,000 lb) and the 418 and 424 (21,000 lb).
- Length, 43 ft 5 in: third-shortest of five, between the 371 (42 ft 11 in) and the 418 (46 ft 8 in).
- Cargo capacity, 5,935 lb: shared with the 424; of five, two smaller and one larger, nearest the 316 (5,148 lb) and the 418 (5,989 lb).
Next to the 316, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 385 is 2,253 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 915 lb higher, has 787 lb more cargo capacity and is 7 ft 3 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height.
Next to the 371, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 385 is 413 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 590 lb higher, has 3,128 lb more cargo capacity and is 6 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Heartland does not publish for the Torque 385
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
11,479 lb dry and 16,675 lb GVWR, against this model’s 13,732 lb and 17,590 lb.
14,145 lb dry and 17,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 13,732 lb and 17,590 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
Cargo capacity on the Torque 385 is 5,935 lb.
No source publishes a pin weight for the Torque 385, 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 424, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 3 of the 5 fields both publish (this plan first): length 43 ft 5 in vs 46 ft 9 in; dry weight 13,732 lb vs 15,017 lb; GVWR 17,590 lb vs 21,000 lb. They match on sleeps and cargo capacity.
