01 What makes it unique

Keystone publishes three weights for the Cougar Half-Ton 25FKD: a shipping weight of 7,405 lb, a carrying capacity of 1,395 lb and a hitch weight of 970 lb. Those are Keystone’s own terms, and this page keeps them. Keystone does not call the first figure dry or unloaded weight, does not say the hitch figure is measured dry, and publishes no GVWR for any Cougar Half-Ton floorplan, so none of the three is renamed here and no loaded rating is worked out from them. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, is the document that carries its UVW, cargo capacity and GVWR.

Tank capacities are 54 gal fresh, 80 gal gray and 40 gal waste, as Keystone lists them. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank is roughly 448 lb on the road before anything else is loaded. The tire size Keystone lists is ST225/75R15E.

Against the 11 Cougar Half-Ton floorplans profiled here, this one is the 5th by Keystone’s shipping weight, in a range from 6,090 lb (21LBK) to 9,590 lb (30REP). Every figure in that comparison comes from the same Keystone page type for the same model year, so the comparison inside the series is like for like.

Every number on this page was read on 19 Oct 2026 from Keystone’s own floorplan page for the Cougar Half-Ton 25FKD. That page carries no model year, so the year comes from the roster page that links it, which lists the Cougar Half-Ton floorplans under the heading “2027 Floorplans”. Keystone notes that its website reflects the most recent production run and that features and specifications change during the year.

How the 25FKD differs from the other six Cougar Half-Ton travel trailers. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out.

  • Carrying capacity (Keystone’s term), 1,395 lb: smallest of seven; next is the 22MLS (1,565 lb).
  • Hitch weight as a share of shipping weight, 13.1%: largest of seven; next is the 26LBW (12.7%).
  • Hitch weight as Keystone lists it, 970 lb: second-heaviest of seven, between the 29RKE (925 lb) and the 29RLP (1,060 lb).
  • Shipping weight (Keystone’s term), 7,405 lb: third-heaviest of seven, between the 26LBW (7,250 lb) and the 29RKE (8,385 lb).
  • Length, 29 ft 11 in: shared with the 25MLE; of seven, two shorter and three longer, nearest the 22MLS (26 ft 5 in) and the 26LBW (30 ft 10 in).

Next to the 26LBW, the nearest lighter floorplan by shipping weight, the 25FKD is 155 lb heavier by shipping weight, has 1,005 lb less carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 50 lb heavier and is 11 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and sleeping capacity.

Next to the 29RKE, the nearest heavier floorplan by shipping weight, the 25FKD is 980 lb lighter by shipping weight, has 1,345 lb less carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 45 lb heavier and is 3 ft 11 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and sleeping capacity.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Keystone does not publish for the Cougar Half-Ton

No GVWR, no unloaded (dry) weight under that name, no dry hitch weight and no exterior width appear on Keystone’s floorplan pages for this series, so those rows read as not published. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, 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). On a Cougar Half-Ton those figures come from the trailer, not from this page, and they govern the towing decision.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 47 recall campaigns and 148 owner complaints against the Cougar 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 148 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (34%), structure (16%) and equipment (15%).

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 Cougar line page.
