Just to extend Kmike's list a bit. Most trailer spec sheets specify something called dry weight. The TM Sport spec sheet is still being updated, and I don't see dry weight on it yet. Your 3200-pound number sounds about right - non-sport models run around 2900-3000 pounds dry - so I am not questioning it. However, dry weight is the weight of the base configuration, including all "standard" items, but not including any "options" installed by the factory. Again, the TM Sport spec sheet is still being updated, and the options are not yet listed, so you can't account for their weight.

On other TM models, the options are listed. There are usually many options, but the only ones with significant impact on weight are the air conditioner and the awning. For the Sport, the awning appears to included in the Sport Package, but the air conditioner is not mentioned. When I was at the factory a few months ago, I saw several Sport models without air conditioners on the lot, so perhaps it is not included in the dry weight. In that case, you might want to add 100 pounds or so for the unit.

We are all anxious to see a full spec sheet on the Sport model.

To add a tidbit, when I first started looking at tow vehicles, a sales person asked why I stressed needing a tow package for the truck I was looking at. I showed him a footnote on the brochure that mentioned; to tow XXXX weigh, a tow package must be installed. If your current tow vehicle is still under warranty...keep that in mind. Exceeding vehicle limits can void a warranty. Not saying buy another vehicle, but to be aware.
