Pick the Highland Ridge Open Range 3X 287RLS if…
Pick the Highland Ridge Open Range 3X 287RLS if you want the premium feature mix without the premium price. Off-road capability, 1,800W inverter, 200W solar, generator prep, four-season build, theater seating, fireplace, and residential fridge all hit at $108,000, $20K below the Pinnacle. The 13,900 lb GVWR also opens up SRW one-ton trucks. Best fit: a couple-plus-kids or four-person family who wants high feature density, plans to camp on forest roads, and would rather keep the $20K than gain the wider 102 in body and double solar.
Pick the Jayco Pinnacle 32RLTS if…
Pick the Jayco Pinnacle 32RLTS if you want the wider 102 in body, double solar, factory slide and outdoor kitchen, and the higher cargo and LP capacity. The 16,600 lb GVWR demands a DRW or capable SRW one-ton truck, but you get 3,055 lb of cargo room and a 120 gal LP for long stays. Best fit: a couple-plus-occasional guests doing extended snowbird trips or full-timing who values the wider main living area, the 400W solar for boondocking, and the residential GE appliance package, and accepts the heavier tow.
