01 What makes it unique
Grand Design publishes an unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) of 8,672 lb and a GVWR of 11,000 lb for the 2027 Transcend 325BHT, with a hitch weight of 1,086 lb. It does not publish a cargo carrying capacity on the floorplan page, so none is shown here, and none is worked out by subtracting one published figure from the other. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, carries its cargo capacity as built.
It is 37' 3" long, 11' high and 8' wide, with 56 gal fresh, 78 gal grey and 57 gal black tanks as Grand Design lists them. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank adds roughly 465 lb before anything else is loaded.
Among the 8 Transcend floorplans profiled from Grand Design’s 2027 pages, it is number 6 of 8 by unloaded weight, in a range from 6,327 lb to 9,400 lb. Every figure in that comparison comes from the same Grand Design page type for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 4 Nov 2026 from Grand Design’s own floorplan page for the Transcend 325BHT, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 325BHT differs from the other seven Transcend floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Black tank, 57 gal: largest of eight; next are the 245RLT, 265BHT and five others (39 gal).
- Tongue weight, 1,086 lb: second-heaviest of eight, between the 315RKT (1,070 lb) and the 345DQT (1,300 lb).
- Dry weight, 8,672 lb: third-heaviest of eight, between the 315RKT (8,400 lb) and the 345DQT (9,345 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.5%: third-largest of eight, between the 335BHT (11.2%) and the 315RKT (12.7%).
- Length, 37 ft 3 in: shared with the 335BHT; of eight, five shorter and one longer, nearest the 315RKT (36 ft 10 in) and the 345DQT (38 ft 11 in).
- Sleeping capacity, 10: shared with the 295QBT; of eight, five smaller and one larger, nearest the 265BHT (8) and the 335BHT (12).
- GVWR, 11,000 lb: highest of eight, level with the 315RKT, 335BHT and 345DQT; next is the 295QBT (8,995 lb).
- Slide-out count, 2: shared with the 315RKT; of eight, four fewer and two more, nearest the 245RLT, 265BHT and two others (1) and the 335BHT and 345DQT (3).
Next to the 315RKT, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 325BHT is 272 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 16 lb heavier, is 5 in longer, has a grey tank 39 gal smaller, has a black tank 18 gal larger and sleeps six more; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank and slide-out count.
Next to the 345DQT, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 325BHT is 673 lb lighter by dry weight, has a tongue weight 214 lb lighter, is 1 ft 8 in shorter, has a grey tank 39 gal smaller, has a black tank 18 gal larger, sleeps four more and has one fewer slide-out; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height and fresh tank.

Towing it
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 (11,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,650 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).
03 The Transcend floorplan family
Grand Design lists 8 Transcend floorplans for 2027. 8 without an existing page here are profiled from Grand Design’s own floorplan pages, from 6,327 lb to 9,400 lb unloaded; the others link to their existing pages. Grand Design publishes UVW, GVWR and hitch weight for these trailers, and no cargo carrying capacity.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Grand Design does not publish for the Transcend
No cargo carrying capacity appears on Grand Design’s floorplan pages for this series, so that row reads as not published. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, 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
8,400 lb UVW and 11,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,672 lb and 11,000 lb.
9,345 lb UVW and 11,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,672 lb and 11,000 lb.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Transcend 335BHT, nearest on the published figures.

They match on length, GVWR and fresh tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 9 recall campaigns and 10 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Transcend Xplor line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
What to look at on a used one. Across the 10 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (30%), unknown or other (20%) and electrical system (10%).
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 Transcend Xplor line page.
