2026 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack352PACK15

The Wolf Pack 352PACK15 leaves Forest River's factory at 12,768 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 16,745 lbs and 3,977 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 24% 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 3,977 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Dry pin weight is 2,745 lbs, which is 21% of the dry weight. That figure lands on the truck's rear axle and comes straight off its payload rating - not its towing rating, which is the number most often quoted and the wrong one for this decision. Pin weight rises as the trailer is loaded, and a fifth wheel loaded toward its cargo capacity will put substantially more than 2,745 lbs over the bed. Read the payload figure on your own door sticker rather than a brochure maximum for the model.

Tank capacities are 96 gallons fresh, 88 grey and 88 black, 176 gallons of waste capacity against 96 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Forest River publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Wolf Pack roster this is the 10th of 12 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 6,253 lbs to 14,884 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read the pair of weights is to stop planning against the dry figure. Nobody tows a trailer at 12,768 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity, which is modest for a family trip, and this plan is already near 14,756 lbs on the road. Compare that number against the tow vehicle, not the dry weight, and leave margin on top of it - the published GVWR of 16,745 lbs is a limit rather than a target.

Every number above was captured twice from Forest River and checked against itself before it was published. The line roster block and the individual floorplan page are two separate factory renderings of the same trailer, and this plan's 4 shared figures agree exactly on both. Dry weight plus cargo capacity also equals the published GVWR exactly, which is the arithmetic check this site runs on every profiled floorplan. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Forest River does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

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. 352PACK15 is a Wolf Pack designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

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.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 96-gallon fresh tank is roughly 20% of the 3,977-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 352PACK15 with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 2,745 pounds is 21% of this floorplan’s 12,768-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 16,745-pound GVWR the 352PACK15 is towing 3,977 pounds more than its 12,768-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 96 gallons of fresh against 88 grey and 88 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 352PACK15 sits 6 of 8 in the Wolf Pack line: 16,745 pounds against a line that runs from 11,315 to 17,310 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Wolf Pack 290PACK13 is 2,275 pounds lighter at 14,470 lb GVWR; and Wolf Pack 350PACK15 is 215 pounds heavier at 16,960 lb GVWR.

Against the 352PACK15: the Montana 3623EB is 20 lb lighter and 5 ft shorter; the Montana High Country 373RD is 35 lb heavier and 4 ft shorter; the Columbus 379MBL is 40 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Wolf Pack floorplans profiled here run 6,253 to 14,884 pounds dry and 27 to 45 feet of exterior length across 8 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Wolf Pack line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 11 of them for the 352PACK15. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, refrigerator, air conditioning. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (85%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
