01 What makes it unique
Brinkley lists the 2027 Model Ix 24x at 6,891 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,495 lb and a tongue weight of 654 lb. Brinkley prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 29' 11" long and 11' 1" high. Brinkley prints its tanks as 46 gal fresh, 80 gal grey, 44 gal black.
Among the 4 Model Ix floorplans Brinkley’s Model Ix floorplan flyers (listed under model year 2027 in Brinkley’s own document library; the flyers print no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 4 from the lightest, in a range from 5,791 lb (Model Ix 20x) to 6,891 lb (Model Ix 24x). Every figure in that comparison is Brinkley’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Brinkley’s Model Ix floorplan flyers (listed under model year 2027 in Brinkley’s own document library; the flyers print no year); model year 2027 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the 24x differs from the other three Model Ix floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 6,891 lb: heaviest of four; next is the 25x (6,888 lb).
- Grey tank, 80 gal: largest of four; next is the 25x (74 gal).
- Tongue weight, 654 lb: second-heaviest of four, between the 23x (591 lb) and the 25x (671 lb).
- GVWR, 8,495 lb: highest of four, level with the 25x; next is the 23x (7,495 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 9.5%: smallest of four, level with the 20x; next is the 25x (9.7%).
- Length, 29 ft 11 in: longest of four, level with the 25x; next is the 23x (26 ft 11 in).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 1 in: tallest of four, level with the 25x; next are the 20x and 23x (10 ft 11 in).
- Black tank, 44 gal: shared with the 25x; of four, one smaller and one larger, nearest the 20x (37 gal) and the 23x (45 gal).
Next to the 25x, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 24x is 3 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 17 lb lighter and has a grey tank 6 gal larger; the two publish the same GVWR, length, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (8,495 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,274 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Brinkley does not publish for the Model Ix 24x
Brinkley prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
6,888 lb dry and 8,495 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,891 lb and 8,495 lb.

11 NHTSA safety record
No recall campaign or owner complaint in our NHTSA data names the Model Ix line. Read that as no result found, not as a clean record.
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 Model Ix line page.
Earlier model years
The record at the top of this page is the 24x from 2027. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 24x, and that year is printed here: 2026. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
