The best toy hauler is the one whose garage fits your toys and whose weight suits your truck. For a lighter tow, look at the 2027 Jayco Jay Flight 265TH. For a long garage in a travel trailer, see the Jayco Seismic 214, 265 and 286. For a fifth wheel, compare the Seismic 359 to 415 with the Keystone Raptor.

The table shows the 2027 toy haulers in this guide with a published garage length, cargo carrying capacity and starting price. All figures come from Jayco's website, read on 14 October 2026.

2027 floor plan Garage length Cargo capacity Starting MSRP
Jayco Seismic 214 (travel trailer) 14 ft 0 in. 4,255 lb $68,993
Jayco Seismic 265 (travel trailer) 15 ft 0 in. 4,610 lb $79,118
Jayco Seismic 359 (fifth wheel) 11 ft 0 in. 4,010 lb $121,530
Jayco Seismic 399 (fifth wheel) 13 ft 6 in. 5,415 lb $134,243
Jayco Seismic 395 (fifth wheel) 13 ft 6 in. 4,925 lb $135,293
Jayco Seismic 413 (fifth wheel) 14 ft 0 in. 4,980 lb $137,618
Jayco Seismic 415 (fifth wheel) 15 ft 0 in. 5,410 lb $140,243

Jayco says its MSRP does not include freight and dealer prep charges. Jayco lists some packages as mandatory on the Seismic models and the Jay Flight, so ask each dealer for a full, out-the-door price before you compare.

How these toy haulers were chosen

These picks come from published data, not test drives or inspections. A toy hauler was included only if its builder's own website showed the 2027 model year with most of the figures a buyer needs to check before visiting a dealer: garage length, cargo carrying capacity, hitch weight and length. Where a figure is missing, the article says so.

Jayco's floor plan pages publish these figures and, for most floor plans, a starting MSRP, so most picks are Jayco models. Keystone publishes garage size, carrying capacity and hitch weight for its 2027 Raptor fifth wheels but no price on the pages read, so the Raptor is covered in its own section. Other builders were left out where the pages read did not show a model year with those figures. Builders word their weights differently, so compare weights within one builder, not across builders.

Dealer asking prices come from Searchshop's own listings, read on 14 October 2026.

What to compare when choosing a toy hauler

Four numbers decide whether a toy hauler works for you: garage length, cargo carrying capacity, hitch weight and overall length.

  • Garage length tells you whether your ATV, side-by-side or motorcycle fits. Measure each machine, including any racks, before you shop.
  • Cargo carrying capacity has to cover your toys, water, gear and anything a dealer adds. On every Jayco floor plan in this guide, it equals the gross vehicle weight rating minus the unloaded vehicle weight.
  • Hitch weight is the weight pressing down on your truck. Check it against your truck's payload as well as its towing capacity.
  • Overall length matters for campsites, storage and turning.

Jayco's toy hauler page also advises buyers to take note of ramp capacities and of the areas for tying down and stabilizing gear. On its 2027 Seismic travel trailers, Jayco lists 5,000-lb garage D-rings mounted to the steel frame.

Best for a lighter tow: Jayco Jay Flight 265TH

The 2027 Jay Flight 265TH is the lightest and lowest-priced toy hauler in Jayco's 2027 lineup covered here. Jayco lists an unloaded vehicle weight of 5,260 lb, a dry hitch weight of 885 lb and a cargo carrying capacity of 3,240 lb, with an overall length of 30 ft 4 in. It sleeps up to four and starts at $38,325 MSRP.

Jayco does not list a garage length for the 265TH on its floor plan page, so measure the garage at the dealer before you buy. Its 52-gallon fresh water tank is about half the 106 gallons of the Seismic travel trailers below.

Best travel trailer toy haulers for a long garage: Jayco Seismic 214, 265 and 286

The 2027 Jayco Seismic travel trailer offers garages from 14 ft to 16 ft 6 in. in a conventional travel trailer. All three floor plans have a 106-gallon fresh water tank and sleep up to six.

2027 Seismic floor plan Length Unloaded weight Dry hitch weight
214 25 ft 7 in. 7,445 lb 1,045 lb
265 32 ft 8 in. 8,640 lb 1,270 lb
286 32 ft 11 in. 8,190 lb 1,175 lb
  • Seismic 214: the shortest of the three at 25 ft 7 in., with a 14 ft garage and 4,255 lb of cargo capacity, from $68,993.
  • Seismic 265: a 15 ft garage and 4,610 lb of cargo capacity, from $79,118.
  • Seismic 286: a 16 ft 6 in. garage, the longest of any floor plan in this guide with a published garage length, and 4,610 lb of cargo capacity. Jayco had not published a price for the 286 when its page was read.

Every Seismic travel trailer carries more than 1,000 lb on the hitch, so check your truck's payload before you shop. The best tow vehicles guide covers choosing a truck.

Best fifth wheel toy haulers: Jayco Seismic 359 to 415

The 2027 Jayco Seismic fifth wheel lineup runs from the 40 ft Seismic 359 to the Seismic 415, which Jayco lists at 46 ft 5 in. overall, with garages from 11 to 15 ft. Every floor plan has a 106-gallon fresh water tank.

2027 Seismic floor plan Length Unloaded weight Dry hitch weight
359 40 ft 0 in. 13,490 lb 2,875 lb
399 45 ft 2 in. 15,585 lb 3,265 lb
395 45 ft 8 in. 16,075 lb 3,450 lb
413 45 ft 5 in. 16,020 lb 3,430 lb
415 46 ft 5 in. (overall) 16,590 lb 3,720 lb

Which Seismic fifth wheel fits which buyer?

  • Seismic 359: the shortest and lightest, with an 11 ft garage, from $121,530. It suits a buyer with smaller toys or tighter campsites.
  • Seismic 399: the highest cargo carrying capacity in the Seismic lineup at 5,415 lb, a 13 ft 6 in. garage and sleeping for up to eight, from $134,243.
  • Seismic 395: a 13 ft 6 in. garage, sleeping for up to seven and three axles, from $135,293.
  • Seismic 413: a 14 ft garage, from $137,618.
  • Seismic 415: the longest garage of the Seismic fifth wheels at 15 ft, and 5,410 lb of cargo capacity, from $140,243.

Jayco gives the 415's length as overall length and the other floor plans' as length, so treat small length differences with care. Jayco lists a 6,000-watt generator as standard on the Seismic fifth wheels. A fifth wheel needs a pickup with a fifth wheel hitch in the bed; the fifth wheel buying guide covers the hitch and truck.

Another fifth wheel to compare: Keystone Raptor

Keystone's 2027 Raptor fifth wheel lineup lists garages from 11 to 16 ft across its floor plans. Keystone's floor plan pages give a shipping weight rather than an unloaded weight, and no price on the pages read, so the Raptor is not in the price table above.

  • Raptor 352: 39 ft 6 in. long with an 11 ft garage. Keystone lists a shipping weight of 15,980 lb, a carrying capacity of 3,495 lb, a hitch weight of 3,475 lb and a 173-gallon fresh water tank.
  • Raptor 415: 44 ft 6 in. long with a 16 ft garage. Keystone lists a shipping weight of 17,328 lb, a carrying capacity of 3,672 lb and a hitch weight of 3,785 lb.

Keystone lists 5,000-lb Adjust-A-Track frame-welded tie-downs in the Raptor 352 garage. Keystone says its features and specifications may change without notice, so check the weight labels on the unit you are buying.

What dealers are asking for these toy haulers on Searchshop

Dealers on Searchshop were asking a median of $98,995 to $112,995 for new 2026 Seismic fifth wheels on 14 October 2026, depending on the floor plan. The table shows median asking prices for new 2026 model-year units by floor plan, where at least five listings backed the figure.

New 2026 floor plan Listings Median asking price
Jay Flight SLX 265TH 9 $31,985
Seismic 359 15 $98,995
Seismic 395 24 $107,495
Seismic 399 29 $108,995
Seismic 413 17 $112,995

Counts are new listings whose title matched the model name and whose listed floor plan matched; the listing feed returned 110 of the 115 Seismic listings it reported and 15 of the 16 Jay Flight 265TH listings. Asking prices are what dealers advertised, not sale prices, and they do not include taxes or fees. Fewer than five new 2027 units of any floor plan were listed, so no 2027 asking prices are shown.

Next steps

Start with what you need to carry, then narrow by tow vehicle and budget.

  1. Measure each toy and add a margin for loading. If you need more than 14 ft, look at floor plans such as the Seismic 265, 286 or 415, or the Raptor 415.
  2. Add up the weight of your toys and gear, and compare it with the cargo carrying capacity of each floor plan.
  3. Check the hitch weight against your truck's payload, and the loaded trailer weight against its towing capacity.
  4. Ask each dealer for a full price, and compare it with the asking prices above.
