01 What makes it unique
Grand Design publishes an unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) of 9,400 lb and a GVWR of 11,000 lb for the 2027 Transcend 335BHT, with a hitch weight of 1,056 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' 4" high and 8' wide, with 56 gal fresh, 117 gal grey and 39 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 8 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 335BHT, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 335BHT differs from the other seven Transcend floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 9,400 lb: heaviest of eight; next is the 345DQT (9,345 lb).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 4 in: tallest of eight; next are the 245RLT, 265BHT and five others (11 ft).
- Sleeping capacity, 12: largest of eight; next are the 295QBT and 325BHT (10).
- Tongue weight, 1,056 lb: fourth-heaviest of eight, between the 295QBT (803 lb) and the 315RKT (1,070 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.2%: fourth-largest of eight, between the 295QBT (10.9%) and the 325BHT (12.5%).
- Slide-out count, 3: most of eight, level with the 345DQT; next are the 315RKT and 325BHT (2).
- Length, 37 ft 3 in: shared with the 325BHT; of eight, five shorter and one longer, nearest the 315RKT (36 ft 10 in) and the 345DQT (38 ft 11 in).
- Grey tank, 117 gal: largest of eight, level with the 315RKT and 345DQT; next are the 245RLT, 265BHT and three others (78 gal).
- GVWR, 11,000 lb: highest of eight, level with the 315RKT, 325BHT and 345DQT; next is the 295QBT (8,995 lb).
Next to the 345DQT, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 335BHT is 55 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 244 lb lighter, is 1 ft 8 in shorter, stands 4 in taller and sleeps six more; the two publish the same GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and slide-out count.

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.

Grand Design lists 8 Transcend floorplans for 2027. 8 are profiled here; the rest are catalogued with the reason against each.
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
9,345 lb UVW and 11,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 9,400 lb and 11,000 lb.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Transcend 345DQT, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 37 ft 3 in vs 38 ft 11 in; sleeps 12 vs 6; dry weight 9,400 lb vs 9,345 lb; hitch weight 1,056 lb vs 1,300 lb. They match on GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank and black 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.
