01 What makes it unique

The Ozark 1670RB has 1,486 lbs of cargo capacity between 4,064 lbs dry and its 5,550 lbs GVWR, 27% 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 450 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: 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 Ozark roster this is the 4th of 13 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,648 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 4,064 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 4,807 lbs, and the published GVWR of 5,550 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. 1670RB is a Ozark designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 1670RB differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.1%: second-smallest of thirteen, between the 2690BHK (10.9%) and the 2300RBLE (11.4%).
  • Dry weight, 4,064 lb: fourth-lightest of thirteen, between the 1620DBLE (3,224 lb) and the 1680BSK (4,269 lb).
  • GVWR, 5,550 lb: fourth-lowest of thirteen, between the 1620DBLE (3,950 lb) and the 1680BSK (5,655 lb).
  • Length, 23 ft 1 in: fourth-shortest of thirteen, between the 1620DBLE (21 ft 6 in) and the 1680BSK (23 ft 2 in).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 6 in: fifth-lowest of thirteen, between the 1610FBLE (10 ft 4 in) and the 2300RBLE and 2690BHK (11 ft).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,486 lb: sixth-largest of thirteen, between the 26KB (1,447 lb) and the 2430RBK (2,127 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 26.8%: seventh-smallest of thirteen, between the 1680BSK (24.5%) and the 2430RBK (27.4%).
  • Tongue weight, 450 lb: shared with the 1620DBLE; of thirteen, two lighter and nine heavier, nearest the 13RD (365 lb) and the 1680BSK (555 lb).
  • Fresh tank, 39 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 1610FBLE, 1620DBLE and 1680BSK; next is the 13RD (41 gal).
  • Grey tank, 30 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 13RD, 1610FBLE and two others; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and two others (40 gal).
  • Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 13RD, 1610FBLE and two others; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and six others (40 gal).

Next to the 1620DBLE, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 1670RB is 840 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,600 lb higher, has 760 lb more cargo capacity, is 1 ft 7 in longer and stands 4 in taller; the two publish the same tongue weight, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 1680BSK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 1670RB is 205 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 105 lb lower, has 100 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 105 lb lighter, is 1 in shorter and stands 4 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Published tongue weight450 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb555–832 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed5,550 lb towed / 832 lb tongue
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 (5,550 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (832 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).

03 The Ozark floorplan family

Ozark is Forest River's entry-weight travel trailer, and the roster is unusual for how far down the scale it reaches: the smallest plan leaves the factory at just over 2,500 lb dry. The line splits four ways on the factory roster - single-axle, tandem-axle, limited-edition and toy hauler - and the toy haulers sit at the top of the weight range.

Ozark is Forest River's entry-weight travel-trailer line, published in four factory groupings: single-axle, tandem-axle, limited-edition and toy hauler. Fifteen floorplans are published for 2027. Forest River publishes dry weight, GVWR, cargo capacity, tongue weight and the exterior dimensions for all fifteen; awning size is published for nine. Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not published in this channel and are absent rather than estimated.

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 Ozark, 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 Ozark 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
Ozark 1620DBLE

3,224 lbs dry against this plan's 4,064 lbs, a difference of 840 lbs.

Heavier
Ozark 1680BSK

4,269 lbs dry, 205 lbs more than this plan, and 1,386 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,486 lbs.

Most cargo in the line
Ozark 1900THK

4,312 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 13 Ozark 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 39-gallon fresh tank is about 324 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the 1670RB’s 1,486 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,162 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 7 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 2430RBK at 21% and Ozark 1680BSK at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

07 Where this floorplan sits

Closest sibling: the Ozark 1680BSK, nearest on the published figures.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 4 recall campaigns and 3 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Ozark line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

Too few reports to show a pattern. 3 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover structure, tires and wheels.

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 Ozark line page.
