01 What makes the 2024 25RUC different
The Eagle HT 25RUC is one of Jayco's Eagle HT fifth wheels, the half-ton tier engineered to be towed by a properly equipped half-ton truck, below the full-size Eagle.
Across the 3 model years of the 25RUC on this site (2024 to 2026), the 2024 record has the lightest dry weight, 8,010 lbs; the lowest GVWR, 9,500 lbs; the smallest cargo capacity, 1,490 lbs; the lightest dry pin weight, 1,610 lbs; the shortest exterior length, 29' 6".
Against the 2025 25RUC, the next model year on this site, 11 of the 19 fields both records publish differ: dry weight 8,010 lbs to 8,065 lbs (+55 lb); GVWR 9,500 lbs to 9,650 lbs (+150 lb); cargo capacity 1,490 lbs to 1,585 lbs (+95 lb); dry pin weight 1,610 lbs to 1,620 lbs (+10 lb); exterior length 29' 6" to 29' 9" (+3 in); exterior width 8' 0" to 8' 1" (+1 in); width with slides out 11' 0" to 11' 1" (+1 in); exterior height 12' 6" to 12' 3" (-3 in); height with A/C 12' 6" to 12' 11" (+5 in); interior height 8' 6" to 8' 5" (-1 in); propane 60 lbs to 80 lbs (+20 lb).
Among the 4 Jayco Eagle HT fifth wheels with a 2024 page on this site, the 25RUC is the lightest of 4 by dry weight; the lowest of 4 by GVWR; the smallest of 4 by cargo capacity; 2nd shortest of 4 by exterior length. By dry weight, the heaviest is the 29RLC at 9,205 lbs.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

Towing it
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 What changed for the 2024 model year
2024 is the earliest model year of the 25RUC on this site, so there is no earlier record to set it against. Section 01 compares it with 2025.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Dry pin | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 8,010 | 9,500 | 1,610 | 4 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2025 | 8,065 | 9,650 | 1,620 | 4 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2026 | 8,120 | 9,800 | 1,640 | 4 | ST225/75R15'E' |

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2024 model page for this floorplan (how sources are handled).
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2024
For this model year the factory record has no optional propane and auto-ignition furnace. Those rows read “Not published” and are not filled in from another year.
04 Buying a 2024 25RUC at 2 model years old
Its age, and the date on its label
A 2024 25RUC is 2 model years old in 2026. Its build month is on the certification label (49 CFR 567.4(g)(2)), not in the model year.
Tires: size and date code
Jayco lists ST225/75R15'E' as the 2024 factory tire size. Read the four-digit date code at the end of each tire's identification number, spare included (49 CFR 574.5(b)(3)).
NHTSA record for model year 2024
For model year 2024, NHTSA's files hold 1 recall campaign and 2 owner complaints under the Jayco Eagle name (see Jayco Eagle year by year). Campaigns by component: Structure (22V571000). Complaints on 2024 units name Suspension (1) and Unknown OR other (1). They are filed against the line, not this floorplan alone.
05 How it compares — and to its other years
Differs from 2024 on 11 of 19 shared fields, dry weight, GVWR and cargo capacity among them.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 434 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 29% of the 25RUC’s 1,490 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,056 lb (264 lb per rated berth). Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 44 recall campaigns and 114 owner complaints against the Eagle line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 114 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (23%), structure (18%) and equipment (13%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Eagle line page.
