2026 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite25ICE

The Wildwood X-Lite 25ICE leaves Forest River's factory at 6,178 lbs dry with 1,522 lbs of cargo capacity. Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is not quoted on this page and is not computed from the other two figures. What the cargo number covers is defined by the factory: fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory come out of it. Fresh water is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling the 40-gallon fresh tank spends 332 lbs of the 1,522 lbs before anything else goes in.

Forest River’s 2026 Wildwood / X-Lite brochure draws the 25ICE with a Versa-Tilt custom king bed with a closet and overhead storage at the front. Mid-coach: a hidden pantry, shelves and a wardrobe; an entertainment center with a fireplace; a dinette and a Versa-Lounge in a slide; and a kitchen with pull-out drawers, a microwave and a fridge. At the rear: a bath with a tub/shower, a shelf and a cabinet. It shows one slide-out and a 16-foot awning. Outside it labels an outside fridge and full pass-through storage. That brochure prints hitch weight 735 lb for the 25ICE; the figures above, from Forest River’s own floorplan page, read 700 lb. Two 2026 Forest River records differ: the figures on this page are the floorplan page’s, and the drawing described here is the brochure’s. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.

Tongue weight is 700 lbs, 11% 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: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Wildwood X-Lite roster this is the 6th of 10 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 5,063 lbs to 6,688 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,178 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,939 lbs. Forest River publishes no loaded rating for this line, so the ceiling is the one on the trailer’s own weight label (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. No GVWR is published for this line, so dry plus cargo has no rating to check against. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

Forest River publishes no written floorplan description for this plan; the layout described above is read off Forest River’s own floorplan drawing for this model year. 25ICE is a Wildwood X-Lite designation, and this site does not decode the code itself into a layout claim.

How the 25ICE differs from the other nine Wildwood X-Lite floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity, 1,522 lb: fourth-smallest of ten, between the 26ICE (1,497 lb) and the 28VBXL (1,582 lb).
• Tongue weight, 700 lb: fourth-heaviest of ten, between the 263BHXL (682 lb) and the 26ICE (785 lb).
• Length, 29 ft 10 in: fourth-shortest of ten, between the 24RLXL (28 ft 11 in) and the 23ZEN (31 ft 1 in).
• Dry weight, 6,178 lb: fifth-heaviest of ten, between the 273QBXL (5,975 lb) and the 28VBXL (6,208 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.3%: fifth-smallest of ten, between the 24RLXL (10.9%) and the 273QBXL (11.4%).
• Fresh tank, 40 gal: shared with the 25RLXL; of ten, one smaller and seven larger, nearest the 26ICE (39 gal) and the 23ZEN, 240BHXL and five others (44 gal).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: shared with the 25RLXL, 263BHXL and 26ICE; of ten, five smaller and one larger, nearest the 23ZEN (40 gal) and the 240BHXL (74 gal).

Next to the 273QBXL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25ICE is 203 lb heavier by dry weight, has 183 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 20 lb heavier, is 3 ft 5 in shorter, has a fresh tank 4 gal smaller and has a grey tank 30 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height and black tank.

Next to the 28VBXL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25ICE is 30 lb lighter by dry weight, has 60 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 90 lb lighter, is 3 ft 9 in shorter, has a fresh tank 4 gal smaller, has a grey tank 32 gal larger and has a black tank 2 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height.

Wildwood X-Lite is the value-tier travel trailer in the Wildwood family, seventeen published floorplans from 3,836 to 8,143 lb dry on lengths of 22 feet 8 inches to 34 feet 7 inches. Tongue weight runs 520 to 965 lb across the whole roster, which is light for the length. Eight of the seventeen plans are dealer-stock-only, including a separate West Coast dealer-stock grouping the factory lists on its own. Forest River publishes no GVWR for any X-Lite floorplan.

A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water, 22% of the 25ICE’s 1,522 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,190 lb. Across 10 Wildwood X-Lite floorplans the water share runs 15% to 37%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Wildwood X-Lite 26ICE at 22% and Wildwood X-Lite 28VBXL at 23%.
