2026 Forest River Ozark1680BSK

The Ozark 1680BSK has 1,386 lbs of cargo capacity between 4,269 lbs dry and its 5,655 lbs GVWR, 25% 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 555 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: 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 5th of 13 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,648 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 4,269 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 4,962 lbs, and the published GVWR of 5,655 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. 1680BSK is a Ozark designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 1680BSK differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 4,269 lb: fifth-lightest of thirteen, between the 1670RB (4,064 lb) and the 2300RBLE (5,058 lb).
• GVWR, 5,655 lb: fifth-lowest of thirteen, between the 1670RB (5,550 lb) and the 2300RBLE (7,575 lb).

• Length, 23 ft 2 in: fifth-shortest of thirteen, between the 1670RB (23 ft 1 in) and the 1900THK (23 ft 4 in).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 2 in: lowest of thirteen, level with the 1620DBLE; next is the 13RD (10 ft 3 in).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 24.5%: sixth-smallest of thirteen, between the 1610FBLE (21.9%) and the 1670RB (26.8%).

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

Next to the 2300RBLE, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 1680BSK is 789 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,920 lb lower, has 1,131 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 20 lb lighter, is 5 ft 5 in shorter, stands 10 in lower, has a fresh tank 15 gal smaller, has a grey tank 10 gal smaller and has a black tank 10 gal smaller.

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.

A full 39-gallon fresh tank is about 324 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 23% of the 1680BSK’s 1,386 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,062 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 1670RB at 22% and Ozark 13RD at 25%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
