01 What makes it unique
The Puma Tracks 237RK has 1,587 lbs of cargo capacity between 4,918 lbs dry and its 6,505 lbs GVWR, 24% of that rating; filling its 42-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 349 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).
Tongue weight is 670 lbs, 14% 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 42 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).
Against the rest of the Puma Tracks roster this is the 3rd of 14 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 4,728 lbs to 8,298 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.
Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 4,918 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 5,712 lbs, and the published GVWR of 6,505 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. 237RK is a Puma Tracks designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.
How the 237RK differs from the other thirteen Puma Tracks floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 4,918 lb: third-lightest of fourteen, between the 232UD (4,858 lb) and the 2420RBS (5,328 lb).
- GVWR, 6,505 lb: third-lowest of fourteen, between the 232UD (6,440 lb) and the 2420RBS (6,903 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 24.4%: third-largest of fourteen, between the 2420RBS and 3150TBSS (22.8%) and the 232UD (24.6%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.6%: largest of fourteen, level with the 3070RKLS; next is the 3060RKTS (13.5%).
- Length, 25 ft 9 in: shortest of fourteen, level with the 232UD; next is the 235BH (25 ft 11 in).
- Cargo capacity, 1,587 lb: sixth-smallest of fourteen, between the 235BH (1,585 lb) and the 2430BHS (1,596 lb).
- Tongue weight, 670 lb: sixth-lightest of fourteen, between the 2750BHS (650 lb) and the 2580RBSS and 302BHS (725 lb).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 10 in: lowest of fourteen, level with the 232UD, 235BH and two others; next are the 2420RBS, 2430BHS and seven others (11 ft 1 in).
- Grey tank, 76 gal: shared with the 3150TBSS and 3300FLBS; of fourteen, eight smaller and three larger, nearest the 2420RBS, 2580RBSS and 3200TSBH (68 gal) and the 3060RKTS, 3070RKLS and 3380RLBT (106 gal).
- Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of fourteen, level with the 232UD, 235BH and three others; next are the 2420RBS, 2580RBSS and six others (38 gal).
Next to the 232UD, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 237RK is 60 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 65 lb higher, has 5 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 80 lb heavier and has a grey tank 16 gal larger; the two publish the same length, exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 2420RBS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 237RK is 410 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 398 lb lower, has 12 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 35 lb heavier, is 2 ft 2 in shorter, stands 3 in lower, has a grey tank 8 gal larger and has a black tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Towing it
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 (6,505 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (976 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.
The 2027 model year, as Forest River lists it
Forest River’s own floorplan page lists the 2027 Puma Tracks / Solaire 237RK with the figures below (read 22 Oct 2026). They are that year’s record. The specifications above are the 2026 record; the two are not merged, and neither fills a gap in the other. Every weight, dimension and tank figure in it matches the 2026 record above. Unloaded weight plus cargo capacity equals the 2027 GVWR exactly.

03 The Puma Tracks floorplan family
Tracks sits above Camping Edition and below the destination and fifth-wheel tiers of the Puma range. Dry weight runs 4,728 to 8,298 lbs with hitch weights from 585 to 1,080 lbs, and hitch weight is the figure that decides whether a given truck copes: it comes straight off the tow vehicle's payload before passengers and gear. Every plan in the class publishes a GVWR and every one of them ties out against its own unloaded weight and cargo capacity, which is not true of every Puma tier.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Dry weight (lb) | GVWR (lb) | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 235BH | 25' 11" | 4,728 | 6,313 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 232UD | 25' 9" | 4,858 | 6,440 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 237RK | 25' 9" | 4,918 | 6,505 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 2420RBS | 27' 11" | 5,328 | 6,903 | Travel Trailers |
| 2430BHS | 30' 7" | 5,673 | 7,269 | Travel Trailers |
| 2580RBSS | 32' 8" | 6,013 | 7,628 | Travel Trailers |
| 2750BHS | 32' 6" | 6,183 | 7,650 | Travel Trailers |
| 302BHS | 33' 6" | 6,348 | 7,600 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 3150TBSS | 36' 10" | 6,753 | 8,743 | Travel Trailers |
| 3200TSBH | 36' 5" | 7,458 | 9,395 | Travel Trailers |
| 3300FLBS | 36' 10" | 7,693 | 9,643 | Travel Trailers |
| 3060RKTS | 37' 0" | 7,803 | 9,703 | Travel Trailers |
| 3070RKLS | 37' 0" | 7,918 | 9,894 | Travel Trailers |
| 3380RLBT | 37' 8" | 8,298 | 10,260 | Travel Trailers |
Tracks is the mid-weight Puma travel-trailer class and the factory splits its fourteen floorplans across two groupings on the same roster page — a Lite group and a plain Travel Trailers group. All fourteen publish a full field set and all fourteen tie out exactly, so all fourteen are profiled. Dry weight runs 4,728 to 8,298 lbs across the class.
Forest River also lists the 237RK under a second badge, Solaire, with the same floorplan code. This page carries both names; there is no second page set. Read side by side for 2026, the two listings agree on cargo capacity, length, height, width, the three tanks and the awning, and differ on dry and tongue weight: 4,918 and 670 lb as Puma Tracks (the figures on this page), 4,838 and 655 lb as Solaire. For 2027 they agree on both weights and list the height as 10 ft 10 in (Puma Tracks) and 10 ft 7 in (Solaire). Solaire publishes no GVWR. How the two badges compare.
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 Puma Tracks, so this page does not publish them and does not estimate them (how figures are verified).
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
4,858 lbs dry against this plan's 4,918 lbs, a difference of 60 lbs.
5,328 lbs dry, 410 lbs more than this plan, and 1,575 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,587 lbs.
1,990 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 14 Puma Tracks 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 42-gallon fresh tank is about 349 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the 237RK’s 1,587 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,238 lb. Across 14 Puma Tracks floorplans the water share runs 18% to 28%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Puma Tracks 2430BHS at 22% and Puma Tracks 235BH at 22%. 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 Puma Tracks 232UD, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): dry weight 4,918 lb vs 4,858 lb; GVWR 6,505 lb vs 6,440 lb; cargo capacity 1,587 lb vs 1,582 lb; hitch weight 670 lb vs 590 lb; grey tank 76 gal vs 60 gal. They match on length, fresh tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Solaire line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers tires.
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 Solaire line page.
