Tow vehicle requirements

What kind of tow vehicle do you need for the 2027 Jayco Jay Flight 290RLS?

The 2027 Jayco Jay Flight 290RLS has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 9,600 lb. and a dry hitch weight of 710 lb. To tow this trailer safely when loaded, you should use A half-ton pickup with a max-tow package, or a three-quarter-ton pickup. Always verify your vehicle’s specific towing and payload ratings before hitching up.

Maximum trailer weight (GVWR)9,600 lb.
Typical loaded tongue weight (10–15%)960–1,440 lb.
Practical tow-rating target11,000+ lb 
Dry hitch weight710 lb.
Recommended equipmentElectric brake controller, 7-way connection, weight-distribution hitch with sway control
What to check before towing

Check both the maximum towing capacity and the available payload on your vehicle’s driver-door placard. Your actual hitch weight will exceed the 710 lb dry hitch weight once cargo, water, and full 40 lb. propane tanks are added. 

Best practical guidance

Calculate your tow vehicle requirements using the 9,600 lb. GVWR rather than the 8,549 lb. shipped UVW. Expect loaded tongue weight to fall between 960 lb. and 1,440 lb. Targeting a tow rating around 11,000 lb. gives you a comfortable safety buffer.

Towing guidance is general information. Confirm with your vehicle’s owner’s manual, door-jamb labels and a Christie’s RV sales consultant.
