WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~11,460 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 10,574 lb + fresh water (40 gal, full) 334 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb — capped at its own rating. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around12,735 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)11,460 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,366 lb (12%)
Cargo capacity886 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 24 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 40FDEN's published weights held steady.

Forest River (Mixed tier): Wildwood

YEAR BY YEAR — WHAT CHANGED
  • 2021Introduced
FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Front-den layout; the 886 lb cargo rating is the tightest in the line.
