01 What makes it unique

The Cherokee Grey Wolf 24RE has 2,087 lbs of cargo capacity between 5,518 lbs dry and its 7,605 lbs GVWR, 27% of that rating; filling its 52-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 432 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 605 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: 76 gallons of grey and black capacity against 52 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Cherokee Grey Wolf roster this is the 12th of 32 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 4,449 lbs to 7,356 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 5,518 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,562 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,605 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. 24RE is a Cherokee Grey Wolf designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 24RE differs from the other 31 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2027). How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11%: second-smallest of 32, between the 17TH (10.4%) and the 21AB (11.1%).
  • Tongue weight, 605 lb: fifth-lightest of 32, between the 20RDSE (579 lb) and the 19SM (616 lb).
  • GVWR, 7,605 lb: seventh-lowest of 32, between the 20RDSE (7,579 lb) and the 19SM (7,616 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 27.4%: tenth-largest of 31, between the 28RRT (27.2%) and the 28RRTS (27.5%).
  • Dry weight, 5,518 lb: twelfth-lightest of 32, between the 22CE (5,321 lb) and the 23MK (5,750 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 2,087 lb: twelfth-largest of 31, between the 23MK (2,051 lb) and the 22RR (2,107 lb).
  • Length, 29 ft 11 in: sixteenth-shortest of 32, between the 23MS, 26DJSE and 26LP (29 ft 4 in) and the 25RRT (30 ft 10 in).

Next to the 22CE (2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 24RE is 197 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 28 lb lower, has 225 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 28 lb lighter and is 3 ft 7 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 23MK (2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 24RE is 232 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 196 lb lower, has 36 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 196 lb lighter and is 1 ft 1 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (7,605 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,141 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).

Forest River's 2027 Cherokee Grey Wolf roster, read 2 Nov 2026, lists thirty floorplans. 24RE is on this site for the first time; twenty-three already have their own page here, which keeps the record it was built from. Six further roster entries are listed on the hub without a page. Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not published in this channel.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for this line

Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not in Forest River’s specification channel for Cherokee Grey Wolf, so this page does not publish them and does not estimate them (how figures are verified).

Awning size is not published for this floorplan

Forest River publishes an awning size for some Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans and not for this one. The row reads as unpublished rather than being filled from a neighbouring plan in the same roster.

Weigh it before you tow it

Forest River calls its unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build, and options and dealer add-ons change it, so weigh your own trailer loaded the way you travel (how figures are verified).

05 How it compares

Lighter
Cherokee Grey Wolf 22RR

5,343 lbs dry against this plan's 5,518 lbs, a difference of 175 lbs.

Heavier
Cherokee Grey Wolf 23MK

5,528 lbs dry, 10 lbs more than this plan, and 2,207 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 2,087 lbs.

Most cargo in the line
Cherokee Grey Wolf 27RR

3,071 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 32 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans profiled here. If payload rather than length is the binding constraint, that is the plan to compare against.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 21% of the 24RE’s 2,087 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,655 lb. Across 32 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans the water share runs 9% to 59%, and 16 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Cherokee Grey Wolf 22RR at 20% and Cherokee Grey Wolf 23MK at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

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 Cherokee Grey Wolf line page.
