2026 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack290PACK13

The Wolf Pack 290PACK13 has 3,297 lbs of cargo capacity between 11,173 lbs dry and its 14,470 lbs GVWR, 23% of that rating; filling its 96-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 797 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Pin weight is 2,470 lbs, 22% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and comes off the truck’s payload, not its towing rating, so check it against the payload on your own door sticker (pin weight and payload).

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 fifth-wheel roster this is the 2nd of 7 fifth wheels by dry weight, in a line that runs from 9,313 lbs to 14,884 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 11,173 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 12,821 lbs, and the published GVWR of 14,470 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).

• Cargo capacity, 3,297 lb: third-smallest of seven, between the 411STAY (2,426 lb) and the 352PACK15 (3,977 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.8%: third-smallest of seven, between the 397STAY (14.2%) and the 352PACK15 (23.8%).

Next to the 275PACK15, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 290PACK13 is 1,860 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 210 lb higher, has 1,650 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 210 lb heavier and is 7 ft 5 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 365PACK15.5, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 290PACK13 is 905 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,440 lb lower, has 1,535 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 440 lb lighter, is 4 ft 7 in shorter, has a grey tank 44 gal smaller and has a black tank 44 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh 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), 24% of the 290PACK13’s 3,297 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,500 lb. Across 7 Wolf Pack fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 16% to 35%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Wolf Pack 352PACK15 at 20% and Wolf Pack 411STAY at 33%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
