2019 Heartland Cyclone 4006 Toy Hauler — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $52,000–$74,000. There are 3 high-severity known issues you need to know before handing over a check.

Kestrel Take

The Cyclone is Heartland's flagship toy hauler fifth wheel — purpose-built for ATV, dirt bike, and side-by-side hauling. Toy haulers get used hard and the cargo area takes punishment. Inspect the cargo floor, ramp door, and fuel door area in addition to the standard slide and roof checks.

What we checked

Not checked against public records

Motorhomes are in NHTSA’s database and we intend to use it. We have not switched it on yet because recall notices name sub-brands and floorplans rather than the model we key on, and folding them in carelessly would put another coach’s recall on this page. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
