2026 Forest River EVO2405BHX

The EVO 2405BHX has 1,852 lbs of cargo capacity between 5,888 lbs dry and its 7,740 lbs GVWR, 24% 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 740 lbs, 13% 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: 106 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 10th of 18 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,433 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 5,888 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,814 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,740 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. 2405BHX is a EVO designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 2405BHX differs from the other seventeen EVO floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Grey tank, 74 gal: largest of eighteen; next are the 2290ER, 2480VBX and 2920VB (64 gal).
• Tongue weight, 740 lb: sixth-heaviest of eighteen, between the 25ICE (700 lb) and the 2985VBX (771 lb).
• GVWR, 7,740 lb: seventh-highest of eighteen, between the 25ICE (7,700 lb) and the 26ICE (7,785 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 1,852 lb: seventh-largest of eighteen, between the 2700BHX (1,828 lb) and the 2920VB (2,182 lb).
• Dry weight, 5,888 lb: ninth-heaviest of eighteen, between the 2700BHX (5,854 lb) and the 2290ER (5,942 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 23.9%: ninth-smallest of eighteen, between the 2700BHX (23.8%) and the 163RD (24%).
• Length, 28 ft 11 in: ninth-longest of eighteen, between the 2290ER (28 ft 5 in) and the 25ICE (29 ft 10 in).
• Black tank, 32 gal: shared with the 2290ER, 2480VBX and 2920VB; of eighteen, twelve smaller and two larger, nearest the 135ICE, 164FBLE and six others (30 gal) and the 2985VBX (40 gal).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.6%: shared with the 2480VBX; of eighteen, eleven smaller and five larger, nearest the 26ICE (12.5%) and the 174DBLE and 260ICE (13.5%).
• Fresh tank, 39 gal: smallest of eighteen, level with the 163RD, 164FBLE and four others; next are the 25ICE, 260ICE and 26ICE (40 gal).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 8 in: shared with the 178BHS; of eighteen, nine lower and seven taller, nearest the 233RBLE (10 ft 6 in) and the 163RD, 165VW and two others (10 ft 9 in).

Next to the 2700BHX, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2405BHX is 34 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 58 lb higher, has 24 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 58 lb heavier, is 2 ft 10 in shorter, stands 4 in taller, has a fresh tank 5 gal smaller, has a grey tank 14 gal larger and has a black tank 2 gal larger.

Next to the 2290ER, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2405BHX is 54 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 710 lb lower, has 656 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 90 lb heavier, is 6 in longer, stands 5 in lower, has a fresh tank 22 gal smaller and has a grey tank 10 gal larger; the two publish the same 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), 17% of the 2405BHX’s 1,852 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,528 lb. Across 18 EVO floorplans the water share runs 11% to 46%, and 15 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: EVO 233RBLE at 16% and EVO 2700BHX at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
