2026 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack26-13.5

The Wolf Pack 26-13.5 leaves Forest River's factory at 6,688 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 11,315 lbs and 4,627 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 41% of the loaded rating, and Forest River's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 96-gallon fresh tank spends 797 lbs of that 4,627 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Tongue weight is 1,115 lbs, 17% 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: 88 gallons of grey and black capacity against 96 gallons of fresh water, so fresh and waste run out at roughly the same rate (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Wolf Pack travel-trailer roster this is the 4th of 5 travel trailers by dry weight, in a line that runs from 6,253 lbs to 8,988 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,688 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 9,002 lbs, and the published GVWR of 11,315 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. 26-13.5 is a Wolf Pack designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 26-13.5 differs from the other four Wolf Pack travel trailers. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• GVWR, 11,315 lb: lowest of five; next is the 24-14.5 (11,320 lb).
• Tongue weight, 1,115 lb: lightest of five; next is the 24-14.5 (1,120 lb).
• Fresh tank, 96 gal: largest of five; next are the 21-14, 24-14.5 and two others (81 gal).
• Dry weight, 6,688 lb: second-heaviest of five, between the 25-14 (6,518 lb) and the 27-12.5 (8,988 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 4,627 lb: second-smallest of five, between the 27-12.5 (2,702 lb) and the 25-14 (4,807 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 40.9%: second-smallest of five, between the 27-12.5 (23.1%) and the 25-14 (42.4%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 16.7%: second-smallest of five, between the 27-12.5 (16.6%) and the 25-14 (17.3%).
• Length, 31 ft 9 in: second-longest of five, between the 25-14 (30 ft 5 in) and the 27-12.5 (38 ft 6 in).

Next to the 25-14, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 26-13.5 is 170 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 10 lb lower, has 180 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 10 lb lighter, is 1 ft 4 in longer and has a fresh tank 15 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 27-12.5, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 26-13.5 is 2,300 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 375 lb lower, has 1,925 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 375 lb lighter, is 6 ft 9 in shorter and has a fresh tank 15 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, grey tank and black tank.

Wolf Pack is the toy-hauler roster inside Forest River's Cherokee family, and it is published as a single list holding two towing classes. Five floorplans are Wolf Pack Limited travel trailers, 6,253 to 8,988 lb dry with 1,115 to 1,490 lb on the tongue. Seven are Wolf Pack Limited fifth wheels, 9,313 to 14,884 lb dry with 2,155 to 3,310 lb on the pin. The lightest fifth wheel is heavier than the heaviest bumper pull, so the two halves do not overlap and nothing on this roster is a borderline call - either a plan needs a bed-mounted hitch or it does not.

A full 96-gallon fresh tank is about 797 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 17% of the 26-13.5’s 4,627 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,830 lb. Across 5 Wolf Pack travel-trailer floorplans the water share runs 13% to 25%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Wolf Pack 25-14 at 14% and Wolf Pack 27-12.5 at 25%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
