2026 Forest River EVO164FBLE

The EVO 164FBLE has 877 lbs of cargo capacity between 2,988 lbs dry and its 3,865 lbs GVWR, 23% of that rating; filling its 39-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 324 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 365 lbs, 12% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 60 gallons of grey and black capacity against 39 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the EVO roster this is the 2nd of 18 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,433 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 2,988 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 3,426 lbs, and the published GVWR of 3,865 lbs is the limit (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

Forest River publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 164FBLE is a EVO designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 164FBLE differs from the other seventeen EVO floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 2,988 lb: second-lightest of eighteen, between the 135ICE (2,504 lb) and the 174DBLE (3,229 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 877 lb: second-smallest of eighteen, between the 174DBLE (706 lb) and the 165VW (1,213 lb).
• Length, 20 ft 2 in: second-shortest of eighteen, between the 135ICE (16 ft) and the 174DBLE (21 ft 8 in).
• GVWR, 3,865 lb: lowest of eighteen, level with the 135ICE; next is the 174DBLE (3,935 lb).
• Tongue weight, 365 lb: lightest of eighteen, level with the 135ICE; next is the 163RD (420 lb).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 2 in: lowest of eighteen, level with the 179DB; next are the 135ICE and 174DBLE (10 ft 3 in).
• Grey tank, 30 gal: shared with the 135ICE, 174DBLE and 2750QBX; of eighteen, one smaller and thirteen larger, nearest the 179DB (27 gal) and the 178BHS and 2985VBX (32 gal).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.2%: ninth-smallest of eighteen, between the 2985VBX (12.1%) and the 165VW (12.4%).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.7%: shared with the 2920VB; of eighteen, five smaller and eleven larger, nearest the 2750QBX (22.2%) and the 2700BHX (23.8%).
• Fresh tank, 39 gal: smallest of eighteen, level with the 163RD, 165VW and four others; next are the 25ICE, 260ICE and 26ICE (40 gal).
• Black tank, 30 gal: shared with the 135ICE, 174DBLE and five others; of eighteen, four smaller and six larger, nearest the 163RD, 165VW and two others (27 gal) and the 2290ER, 2405BHX and two others (32 gal).

Next to the 135ICE, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 164FBLE is 484 lb heavier by dry weight, has 484 lb less cargo capacity, is 4 ft 2 in longer, stands 1 in lower and has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, tongue weight, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 174DBLE, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 164FBLE is 241 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 70 lb lower, has 171 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 70 lb lighter, is 1 ft 6 in shorter and stands 1 in lower; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

EVO is not one roster but four, and the factory publishes them under separate headings: EVO, EVO Lites, EVO Selects and EVO Singles. That matters for anyone shopping by weight, because the sub-family a plan belongs to predicts its weight class more reliably than its floorplan number does - the Singles run single-axle and light, the base EVO group runs tandem-axle and heavier, and a buyer comparing two EVO plans by number alone can be a full tow class out.

A full 39-gallon fresh tank is about 324 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 37% of the 164FBLE’s 877 lb cargo capacity, leaving 553 lb. Across 18 EVO floorplans the water share runs 11% to 46%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: EVO 165VW at 27% and EVO 174DBLE at 46%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
