2026 Forest River EVO25ICE

The EVO 25ICE has 1,522 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,178 lbs dry and its 7,700 lbs GVWR, 20% of that rating; filling its 40-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 332 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 700 lbs, 11% 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: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the EVO roster this is the 14th of 18 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,433 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,178 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,939 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,700 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. 25ICE is a EVO designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 25ICE differs from the other seventeen EVO floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.8%: third-smallest of eighteen, between the 26ICE (19.2%) and the 165VW (21.5%).
• Dry weight, 6,178 lb: fifth-heaviest of eighteen, between the 2480VBX (6,159 lb) and the 26ICE (6,288 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.3%: fifth-smallest of eighteen, between the 233RBLE and 2920VB (11%) and the 2750QBX (11.4%).
• Tongue weight, 700 lb: seventh-heaviest of eighteen, between the 2700BHX (682 lb) and the 2405BHX (740 lb).
• GVWR, 7,700 lb: eighth-highest of eighteen, between the 2700BHX (7,682 lb) and the 2405BHX (7,740 lb).
• Length, 29 ft 10 in: eighth-longest of eighteen, between the 2405BHX (28 ft 11 in) and the 2480VBX and 260ICE (29 ft 11 in).
• Cargo capacity, 1,522 lb: ninth-smallest of eighteen, between the 26ICE (1,497 lb) and the 2750QBX (1,705 lb).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 4 in: shared with the 26ICE, 2700BHX and 2750QBX; of eighteen, four lower and ten taller, nearest the 135ICE and 174DBLE (10 ft 3 in) and the 233RBLE (10 ft 6 in).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: shared with the 260ICE, 26ICE and 2700BHX; of eighteen, ten smaller and four larger, nearest the 163RD and 165VW (54 gal) and the 2290ER, 2480VBX and 2920VB (64 gal).
• Fresh tank, 40 gal: shared with the 260ICE and 26ICE; of eighteen, seven smaller and eight larger, nearest the 163RD, 164FBLE and five others (39 gal) and the 135ICE (41 gal).
• Black tank, 30 gal: shared with the 135ICE, 164FBLE 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 2480VBX, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25ICE is 19 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 875 lb lower, has 894 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 75 lb lighter, is 1 in shorter, stands 5 in lower, has a fresh tank 21 gal smaller, has a grey tank 4 gal smaller and has a black tank 2 gal smaller.

Next to the 26ICE, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25ICE is 110 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 85 lb lower, has 25 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 85 lb lighter and is 2 ft 11 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, 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 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the 25ICE’s 1,522 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,190 lb. Across 18 EVO floorplans the water share runs 11% to 46%, and 9 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: EVO 178BHS at 22% and EVO 26ICE at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
