2025 Starcraft Autumn Ridge173MD

Starcraft lists the 2025 Autumn Ridge 173MD at 3,135 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 3,895 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 760 lb and a hitch weight of 285 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 21' 3" long and 10' 4" high with the air conditioner, with 30 gal fresh, 20 gal grey, 20 gal black. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 249 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.

Among the 18 Autumn Ridge floorplans Starcraft lists for 2025 with a published weight, it is number 1 by unloaded weight, in a range from 3,135 lb (173MD) to 6,330 lb (28BHS). Every figure in that comparison is Starcraft’s, for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Starcraft’s own floorplan page for the Autumn Ridge 173MD, whose title names the model year 2025.
