Forest RiverXLR Nitro

XLR Nitro is the heaviest line in this group: five published floorplans from 13,124 to 16,949 lb dry, on pin weights of 3,160 to 3,765 lb. A pin weight in that band comes off the truck's payload before anyone loads the garage, and cargo capacity runs 3,281 to 5,326 lb on top of it. Forest River publishes no GVWR for any Nitro floorplan, so the rating a buyer needs to check against is not in the factory's own spec channel.

Across the whole XLR Nitro roster the published dry weights run from 13,124 lbs to 16,949 lbs, cargo capacities from 3,281 lbs to 5,326 lbs, and pin weights from 3,160 lbs to 3,765 lbs. Exterior lengths run 38 to 45 feet. Those are Forest River's figures for a standard build, captured from the factory line listing and confirmed against each floorplan's own factory page.

There is one thing to know before comparing XLR Nitro against anything else: Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line. Dry weight, cargo capacity and pin weight are published for every floorplan; the loaded rating is not. The factory's own glossary defines cargo capacity as GVWR minus unloaded weight, so the rating can be worked out - and a figure worked out is not a figure the manufacturer published, so this site does not print one as though it were. The weight label on the trailer itself carries the real number.

5 of the 5 XLR Nitro floorplans are profiled in full below, each on its own page with the complete factory weight, dimension and tank block. The profiled set is spread across the weight range rather than taken from one end of it, so the lightest and heaviest plans in the line are both represented. Every plan profiled here publishes a full field set and, where Forest River publishes a GVWR, passes the dry-plus-cargo arithmetic check.

The remaining 0 XLR Nitro floorplans are catalogued here from the factory's published figures. A plan is catalogued rather than profiled when the factory has not yet published its full field set, when its own published figures disagree with each other, or simply because the profiled set is capped. Nothing in this table is estimated.

Forest River’s 2027 XLR Nitro roster, read 22 Oct 2026: five floorplans. It is a separate record from the 2026 sections above and nothing is merged between them. Five floorplans carry over and keep their 2026 pages, each now showing its 2027 record in a block of its own; no floorplan is new for 2027. Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line, so none is shown and none is computed.

Sort this line by the constraint you actually have. If the truck is fixed, start at the weight column: the lightest plan in the roster is the 32W17 at 13,124 lbs dry and the heaviest is the 40BAR13 at 16,949 lbs, and that spread is wide enough that the two ends are not the same buying decision. If the truck is not fixed, sort by cargo capacity instead - the 40G17 carries the most at 5,326 lbs, and payload is the number that runs out first on a long trip.

Do not sort by floorplan number. Forest River's codes encode length loosely and layout not at all, and this site does not decode them into layout claims. Two plans with adjacent numbers in this roster can differ by hundreds of pounds of dry weight and by more than that in pin weight, which is the figure that determines what the truck has to be.

Where Forest River publishes a floorplan description it is quoted on the plan page and identified as factory marketing copy rather than a specification. Where it publishes none, the plan page says so instead of describing a layout that nobody has verified. That is the difference between a catalogue and a brochure.
