Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 18TO
Sticker was $26,257 in 2023. Out of production since 2023, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2023 unit.
dry weight 3,797 lb + fresh water (26 gal, full) 217 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 18TO's published weights changed mid-run.

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
A genuinely light bunk-capable trailer a mid-size SUV can pull; the hidden bunk is clever, the cabinetry is not.
